Design infrastructure for an enterprise payments platform
Wpay is the Woolworths Group's merchant acquiring business. The platform had grown fast, utilising an off-the-shelf framework and needed a design system that could enhance consistency and governance as the platform grew.
I led the establishment of the design system across a three-year engagement. The system became the operating foundation for design, engineering, and product, a tokenised foundation with a documentation layer designed to evolve, and a codebase that designers contributed to directly. Engineering velocity improved by an estimated 40 per cent, corroborated by reduced PR review rejection rates and observed performance of new teams after onboarding.
