EDS DS
INTRO
After experimenting with UI framework based development, EUROCONTROL decided to establish their own design system, as out-of-the-box components did not meet their needs.

UI AUDIT
In the progress of setting up EDS, I conducted a UI Audit of a reference application in order to:
- Identify inconsistencies within the application itself
- Understand front-end framework use.
- Identify ad-hoc visual theming decisions and measure the use of default components versus custom ones
- Identify components to add in the design system
After intensive screenshooting, I catalogued everything in a handy Airtable. Following the data entry I used sorting and pivoting to group components according to type and status. The process helped me to filter components ready to add in the design system
