ASSA ABLOY operates across brands, regions, and product divisions. Their existing Digital Design System primarily supported web and Android, creating a structural gap for iOS and commerce experiences. Distributed teams needed clearer standards, improved documentation, and stronger alignment across divisions.
As Design System UX Lead, I audited the existing DDS, defined the iOS component architecture aligned with Apple HIG and SwiftUI patterns, and structured a scalable Figma library using semantic tokens. In parallel, we embedded accessibility standards and defined a practical governance model to ensure long term ownership and contribution clarity.
This project demonstrates how design systems move from asset libraries to organisational infrastructure, enabling consistency, scalability, and long term digital maturity across distributed teams.
