Yahoo! Pattern Library
2009
Led the redesign of Yahoo!'s public Design Pattern Library as a summer internship project — a widely referenced resource for interaction designers working across Yahoo!'s product surface.
The existing library had outgrown its structure: patterns were hard to discover, the layout didn't scale to new content types, and the process for contributing new patterns was unnecessarily friction-heavy. The redesign addressed all three — introducing a modular layout built for growth, improved navigation for both browsing and targeted lookup, and a streamlined internal tooling layer for pattern contribution and review.
The project sat at the intersection of UX and design systems thinking — an early signal of the kind of infrastructure work that separates good design organisations from great ones.
