UX Designer (IBM Carbon Design)

The contractor will audit and complete the existing Figma design system. Deliverables include:

• Audit the current library and recommend a prioritized completion plan.
• Finalize the variable and token structure and apply it consistently across the library.
• Complete Meijer styling for the in-scope Carbon components using current Figma best practices.
• Configure properties, variants, responsive behavior, and interactive states so designers can use components without detaching instances.
• Strengthen the Data Table to support Meijer’s data-heavy internal applications.
• Create approximately three to five custom components, including navigation and card elements, based on gaps confirmed during the audit.
• Collaborate with the Design System Developer to align Figma assets, tokens, naming, states, and coded components.
• Publish the completed library and recommend a process for requesting, reviewing, and accepting future contributions.

If time permits after completing the approved light theme, the contractor may also establish or extend the variables and tokens required for a dark theme.

• MUST HAVE: Direct experience with IBM’s Carbon Design System.
• MUST HAVE: Demonstrated experience building, extending, or maintaining a substantial design system in Figma.
• MUST HAVE: Advanced proficiency with Figma components, component properties, variants, variables, modes, styles, libraries, and prototyping.
• Demonstrated experience creating scalable variable and design-token structures.
• Experience adapting or extending an established design system rather than designing only stand-alone product interfaces.
• Strong understanding of component anatomy, states, responsive behavior, reusable interaction patterns, and systematic design.
