Vivendi Design System
Building Gameloft's first unified design system from concept to reality
Gameloft had 10+ product teams across 3 global studios working in silos — resulting in inconsistent UI, duplicated work, and slow iteration cycles.
There was no shared design language, no component library, and no documentation platform. Everything was bespoke, everything was fragile.
- Audited existing UI patterns across all active products
- Defined token architecture: color, typography, spacing, motion
- Built 30+ components in Figma with engineering annotations
- Created a documentation platform for version control and handoff
- Ran bi-weekly syncs with engineering leads across studios
- Led A/B testing with product teams to validate component usability
The system had to be opinionated enough to create consistency — but flexible enough to serve vastly different game genres and interfaces.
We chose a token-based approach that decoupled visual decisions from component structure, allowing teams to theme without breaking the system.
Vivendi became Gameloft's company-wide design foundation. Component build time dropped 20%. The documentation platform became the single source of truth for design and engineering — with adoption checklists now built into the product process company-wide.
