2Flexible grid systems and templates
To avoid unnecessary variations in structure and the inefficiencies of pixel-perfection, I formalized a flexible grid system and introduced a more collaborative delivery environment that included stakeholders from product, engineering, and design. With the introduction of templates and the definition of proven common interactions, deployments were iterative and no longer beholden to UX processes.

Part of the development of design systems at Carvana required training on concepts like primitives, patterns, and an allowance for flexibility in the implementation of design. Strategic projects (see: Peer to Peer Marketplace) were used to incorporate these methods into deliverables. This approach allowed allowed us to create a strategic backlog for engineering.
