April 2025: Focused on documentation quality and branding consistency for Financial-Times/origami. Delivered two focused changes: 1) Documentation updates across grid.mdx and Display docs to improve readability and accuracy (including consolidating a multi-line link, fixing the Figma link in Display.astro, and propagating the brand prop in the typography guide); and 2) Storybook branding consistency: renamed the environment variable from ORIGAMI_STORYBOOK_BRAND to STORYBOOK_BRAND across config and docs to ensure consistent branding in Storybook builds. These changes streamline developer onboarding, reduce confusion, and improve build reliability. Technical emphasis on MDX/docs tooling, config management, and cross-component branding propagation.
