Northstar Rebuild

A polished storefront becomes fragile when its components and rules are inconsistent.

MY ROLEDesign systems · Front-end direction
Northstar Rebuild project presentation

Project context

Independent concept.
Original direction.

Northstar Rebuild turns the earlier commerce concept into a system-design exercise.

Executive summary

From problem to
practical direction.

THE SOLUTION

A second-pass commerce exploration focused on tokens, modular components, responsive behavior, and state coverage.

THE OUTCOME

A documented design-system direction that makes the original concept more scalable.

The approach

The work behind
the interface.

  1. 01

    Audit repeated interface patterns

  2. 02

    Define shared tokens and states

  3. 03

    Rebuild product modules for responsive use

  4. 04

    Document content and interaction rules

Key decisions

What shaped
the direction.

01

Rules before variants

Component flexibility comes from clear content and state constraints, not endless one-off options.

02

Responsive by composition

Modules reflow according to priority instead of collapsing mechanically.
