May 2025 focused on consolidating and standardizing the Hedwig design system's List-related components, delivering a sizing overhaul, usage demonstrations, UI polish, and updated documentation. Key features delivered include: Design system and List component sizing overhaul (introducing size tokens: default, small, technical, medium, large) and alignment for nested list visuals; LinkList sizing demonstrations; UI polish: refined Button hover borders and Figure image radius set to 8px; Hedwig React documentation updates with changeset-based documentation. Major bugs fixed: No major bugs fixed this month; minor fixes included (e.g., a small typo). Impact and business value: Improved visual consistency across apps, faster UI iteration cycles, and clearer usage guidance for developers, enabling more reliable UI deployments and reducing design-to-implementation time. Technologies and skills demonstrated: React, TypeScript, design-system tokenization and naming, changeset-based documentation workflow, UI polish techniques, and documentation hygiene.
