Summary

Summary

Summary

US Bank operates across dozens of product lines — each served by its own design team. Over time, this created a fragmented design landscape where assets lived in static PDF brand guidelines and unstructured SharePoint folders. Designers couldn't reliably find, verify, or reuse assets, leading to duplication across teams and a visibly inconsistent experience for customers moving between products. This project was organization’s aim at fixing that at the infrastructure level — a centralized, searchable design asset management platform built to give every team a shared foundation.

With no single source of truth, designers maintained their own local copies of shared assets, often unsure whether theirs was the current version. Icons, logos, illustrations, and photography were dropped into folders with no metadata or search capability, making discovery dependent on institutional knowledge. The downstream effect was visible in the product: when a customer moving between flows would encounter noticeably different visual languages, because each of those flows was built by a separate team working in isolation.

Solution

Design a centralized asset management platform where all teams, designers, developers, product, marketing, content strategists, and external vendors could find, browse, and use the right asset confidently without asking anyone. The platform introduced global and local search to replace folder-digging, sort and filter controls to navigate large libraries, product category cards for team-based browsing, card-style item listings with inline metadata, and a What's new feed to surface recent additions and updates so new assets would no longer go unnoticed by the rest of the organization.

Designing within a system

The project began with a senior designer establishing the visual language one one page. I took ownership of all subsequent pages extending that foundation while making considered decisions about how new features should behave and feel within the same system. The challenge wasn't just adding screens; it was ensuring every page felt native, as though it had been designed as part of the original vision rather than added later. Working within an established stylistic direction, while still having the space to enhance and improve, was the central design discipline this project demanded.
