Hello, I am Meghan Kelley and I evolve design systems that help people work better together.

Style Guide | Granular

Granular was building out new features and functionality very fast, but without clear UI standards and guidelines. Accumulating a lot of design debt across web pages. I created a system of guidelines and styles for our dropdowns, tables, rows and groups.
