Dark Mode: Scaling the Design System
Problem
User feedback in the past few years has persistently highlighted that the bright white interface caused eye strain, signaling a need for a more accessible, low-light alternative that aligns with modern design standards.
Outcome
I am currently working expanding library’s design system to accommodate a dark mode, ensuring all components meet WCAG contrast standards for an inclusive, eye-friendly research experience.
