Ella Taylor

Worked on the marshmallow-insurance/smores-react repository over four months, focusing on design system upgrades, UI consistency, and robust testing practices. Delivered new features such as a unified color token system, an Alert component, and comprehensive snapshot test coverage, while modernizing test infrastructure with tools like Jest and jest-styled-components. Used TypeScript, CSS-in-JS, and React to implement token-driven theming and component styling, ensuring visual cohesion and reducing technical debt. Addressed configuration management and Storybook integration to streamline design-to-code workflows. The work improved UI reliability, accelerated release cycles, and established a scalable foundation for future front-end development and design system evolution.
