Who is Graphite and what do they do?

Graphite is building a network of companies inside one platform to fix the procurement information workflow nightmare. They’re essentially a powerful form absorbing information machine.

What did you do there?

I was hired because of my experience building design systems so that’s where I started.

I also:

• Created assets to improve employee onboarding (with little to no resources for me to understand procurement, I wanted to learn everything and create new assets so other employees could absorb domain knowledge faster). I created:
  • User Personas (different user types with different primary goals and motivations)
  • User Journey Map (a flow that a specific user persona goes through when interacting with Graphite)
• Did marketing images as needed
• Met with developers to move existing projects forward
• Used the design system on other projects so I could continually refine it. “Ate my own dog food” so I could improve it.

Tools:

• Figma for all the component pieces
• Figma for animation
• Apple QuickTime for screen recording
• A website called ezgif.com for turning those videos into bite size gifs
• Slack for Team communication and alignment
