Change of Company Focus and Direction

Before AIStor, MinIO came with a browser console with a limited set of features. However, the company was shifting directions and wanted to build an enterprise level product, eventually named AIStor.

Figma Design System

I led a design team in building our design system from the ground up, establishing a scalable foundation that enabled the product to move forward with clarity and speed. We developed a robust library of Figma components, defined a clear typographic hierarchy, and created a cohesive iconography system with explicit usage rules to ensure consistent meaning across the product.

By prioritizing foundational components, layout structures, and visual standards first, we were able to quickly transition from system-building to actively designing and shipping product experiences with confidence.

Building the Product

I led the team's development while also contributing as a designer, balancing strategic direction with hands-on execution. As we designed and shipped the product, we continuously evolved the design system in parallel, ensuring it adapted to real-world use rather than remaining theoretical.

I facilitated Figma workshops to help designers leverage components, variants, and advanced features effectively. In close partnership with engineering, I validated key technical decisions early and often, collaborating daily to guide implementation.

User Impact

AIStor brought monitoring and data management access to a broader range of users. Clearly visible and easy to understand features reduced the need for reading through excessive documentation, increasing adoption for even highly technical users.
