Sohee Kim contributed to the sopt-makers/makers-design-system repository by building and refining UI components with a focus on accessibility, theming, and user experience. Over three months, Sohee implemented portal-based Select dropdown rendering to resolve layering issues, enhanced icon theming using currentColor for consistent branding, and introduced new icons to expand the design system. Using React, TypeScript, and CSS, Sohee addressed usability concerns such as Select Menu positioning and error handling in Textarea components, ensuring reliable event forwarding and clear error states. The work demonstrated depth in component design, animation, and design system maintenance, resulting in a more robust and accessible UI library.

This contributed to a more predictable and accessible user interaction across components.
