About Lufthansa Systems

Lufthansa Systems is one of the world’s leading providers of IT services in the airline industry.

Overview

In April 2019, I joined Lufthansa Systems to optimize the pilot navigation product experience for multiple airlines and develop the Design System for web and native applications. As the Design System Lead in the UI/UX team, I played a key role in global collaboration, guiding creative teams, managing digital assets, and ensuring visual consistency across platforms.

Responsibilities

• Optimizing and developing the digital pilot navigation product experience, under consideration of the Lufthansa Systems guidelines
• Development of a scalable Design System for web and native applications
• Building and maintaining component and pattern libraries in Figma and Sketch
• Keeping design documentation in sync with code and supporting the development of code libraries
• Optimizing and automating internal workflows and processes, facilitating frictionless handovers, and improving time to market
• Guiding creative teams to strive for visual and contextual alignment and ensuring brand conformity and consistency
• Establishing the Lufthansa Systems Brandcenter to offer easy access to brand documentation, assets, and marketing material
• Support Corporate Marketing in the visualization and implementation of the major off- and online communication channels
• Providing presentations and training on Design System and Branding related topics

Result

For the first time ever, Lufthansa Systems owns a universal Design System for their customer-facing applications. The perfect tool to document design decisions, maintain visual consistency, and simplify the communication between participating teams.
