Viasat Design System
My initial contract was a 9-month engagement to design a mothership website after Viasat acquired a few companies. From navigation to advanced search, from e-commerce sections to various UI components, it represented about 45 responsive templates, each of them designed for desktop, tablet, and mobile. Some initial internal researches and wireframes were my base… and an obsolete pdf file as the master brand guidelines!
2 years later I am currently completing the initial phase and components of BEAM, Viasat’s first design system (Research, Design, Evangelization & Dev). Having completed a mobile app as a pilot project along the way and transitioned the entire design department from Sketch/Abstract to Figma with the help of the team.

“His ability to collaborate with engineers, designers, project managers, and stakeholders was impressive… Joël understands the latest design technologies and offers alternatives in order to streamline the process. Our work together on the Viasat Design System highlighted Joël’s talent in being able to design and work side by side with the engineering team to deliver reusable components… He goes far and beyond to deliver exceptional work.”
