01The system
We created a design system to optimize and improve the design process of the Google team
The main challenge was designing a system that worked seamlessly across platforms (Desktop, Android, and iOS) while adapting to the native requirements of each operating system.
02Platforms
Designing for desktop required adapting across platforms while preserving one standard and look
By building with variables and adaptable components, the system gave designers the power to design once on a base theme and instantly adapt their screens to any operating system (Windows, macOS, and more).
03iOS 26
Updating the iOS library to the new Liquid Glass style in iOS 26 was an exciting milestone for the team
From Chrome’s perspective, it was thrilling to help shape the largest iOS visual update in ten years, ensuring the browser felt nearly native on Apple devices used around the globe.
04Variables
We migrated all the library styles into variables to improve the components.
For Android, the main challenge was migrating styles into variables, allowing components to support both light and dark mode without redundant variants, in a system already scaled across thousands of screens.
05Documentation
Reviewing every interface and documenting them.
What we created went beyond a component repository. It became a single source of truth, where styles, components, and interfaces came together and where designers could pick up reusable screens already crafted with best practices.
06Impact
And finally, the numbers!
The system ships inside a browser used by billions, so every decision in it carries that far.
Reflection
Being part of Chrome’s design system was a career milestone. Building the system beneath a product used by billions taught me how to balance detail with scale, and how a single decision can ripple across platforms worldwide. It was the kind of work that reminded me why I chose design: to create clarity, efficiency, and impact at a global level.
