Rivet Design System
Rivet is a comprehensive design system providing UI components, accessibility standards, and development guidance across Indiana University applications. When it launched in 2017, it was one of the first open-source design systems in higher education.
I led development of Rivet from inception, contributing code, documentation, and cross-team coordination. It was adopted across hundreds of websites and applications, improving consistency, accessibility, and developer efficiency institution-wide.
Rivet established shared standards that reduced duplicated effort and ensured WCAG-compliant interfaces across the university.
