Design systems are the heart of most modern UI and UX projects, they ensure structure, consistency, and flexibility. The Lynk & Co design system was made to help teams on opposite sides of the world communicate, and build a brand aligned HMI across a variety of vehicle projects. Part of this system was devising and creating a series of Figma plug-ins to help police and streamline the way of working and management of the design assets.

With new applications come new possibilities but also new constraints. At L&C we began pushing the communication possibilities of the exterior lights and Tech band. This was an exterior screen but with large LED lights, so a new typeface had to be designed to be used, continuing with the same characteristics of the brand font but adapted for this specific use. The LED's could be on or off but also had 32 levels of brightness, so using this control I made a font pixel by pixel to be used to aid external communication.

To align more with the Lynk & Co brand guidelines, I redrew and redesigned all the existing icons for both digital and physical applications. I drew up a simple set of construction guidelines, including a grid and graphical rules so that any future icons that were created would be graphically correct and the style would align with the existing icons. there were over 700 icons that were redrawn, then sized to 5 different application sizes, so teams didn't have to rescale any icons by hand.

One of my roles at L&C was project lead for the 008 vehicle, released for the Asian market. This role involved close collaboration with our Shanghai based colleagues, taking concepts all the way through to production. This role blended budgeting, communication and quality control. The end result was worth it with a record breaking pre-order for a Geely vehicle.

Design of in-car navigation system for the Peugeot 3008. From defining the philosophy to creating a map view specifically designed to deliver to the driver the information they need it when they need it. This is aided by a neutral map colour with all extraneous information removed, focusing on the guidance instructions. This is complemented by an information filled central touch screen. which relates easily traffic, POI and other necessary information for the driver and the passengers.I worked with the team at TomTom to customise hier navigation system making it flexible to be use in both the touch screen and the cluster, as well as identifying key assets that could be customised by each brand (Citroen, Peugeot, DS, Opel, Vauxhall, Toyota) to fit with their HMI.

Design of the in-car 3D navigation system for both e the drivers cluster ans the central 12" touch screen. The Peugeot 208 won car of the year in 2020

The central touchscreen navigation system was used in all PSA vehicles since 2014. Since then it has been rethought, refined and tailored to client needs. and evolving UX expectations.

Design of icons used on screen and physical buttons for Peugeot, Citroen, DS, Opel and Vauxhall cars. These icons are part of a family of over 500 icons, all sized differently for different use cases with varing line thickness.
