SailPoint Armada

The Armada Design System was originally created as a disconnected and fragmented set of design components—loosely based on an outdated version of IBM’s Carbon Design System. However, due to a lack of coordination, Armada failed to serve as a true source of truth for either design or engineering.

As the first new designer at SailPoint in three years, I identified the fundamental misalignment between design and engineering, spearheaded the restructuring of Armada, and led its transformation into a centralized, scalable, and reliable design system. The result was a system that drastically improved design consistency, communication, and development efficiency across SailPoint’s suite of products.
