Bozapix - Design System

Bozapix - Design System

My journey with Bozapix was multi-faceted, one that involved orchestrating a Design System that harmonized vision, functionality, and authenticity. Tasked with creating a singular source of truth for the development team at BotsZA, I delved into the realms of visual coherence and business alignment.


In the midst of stakeholder collaborations and constant engagements with the development team, my role extended beyond design—becoming the bridge between creativity and technology.

Crafting a Design System that not only aligned with the vision of the stakeholders but also empowered the development team to bring it to life.

My responsibility was to ensure that our design journey didn't just adhere to the realms of what was technically feasible, but transcended into a realm of user-centered, film-grade authenticity. The aim was to provide filmmakers, agencies, and individual creators with a seamless repository of African stock that reflected the essence of the continent.

This venture taught me that bridging the gap between design and development necessitates not just technical expertise, but an intimate understanding of business goals.

Building a robust Design System became the cornerstone of aligning vision with functionality. This venture's second launch underscored the prowess of design as a binding force, shaping the narrative of a singular brand while embracing diverse layout options. Bozapix wasn't just a project; it was an ode to the synergy of design, technology, and a continent's creative legacy.
