Design System
I developed the design system for our SUV, enhancing the foundational style to ensure a cohesive look across numerous components, rich in variants.
Interface
Post design system development, I took the lead in designing the interfaces for air conditioning and settings, integrating them seamlessly within the overall system.
Designing for the automotive HMI landscape deepened my understanding of adaptability. Unlike typical app or web design, driving-focused designs prioritize safety and compliance with laws. Balancing these with the diverse needs of drivers and passengers, from dashboards to entertainment screens, I consistently ensured our solutions were agile and relevant.
During my time at HongQi, I realized the importance of cohesive teamwork. Engaging with diverse professionals, from design directors to software engineers, taught me that the most innovative solutions arise from collective brainstorming and pooling various expertise.
Standardizing the HongQi Design System was not just about maintaining visual consistency; it was about creating a unified brand language. A solid design system can serve as a cornerstone for all product development, fostering efficiency and coherence.
