Company Overview: Lightbox is a data company that provides commercial, geographical, spatial, and environmental building data on a single platform. LightBox has a suite of legacy products designed to help commercial real estate professionals and property owners streamline their operations and increase their productivity.
My Role: I was one of the UX designers (out of 5) and my primary focus was building the LightBox Design System from scratch, conducting user research, and creating user flows and prototypes.
LightBox Design System
Accessibility and Responsiveness at its core
I led the development of LightBox Design System. I was responsible for building a comprehensive design system from scratch that would ensure consistency and accessibility across all digital products and platforms. I ensured that the design system was flexible enough to adapt to different use cases while maintaining a consistent look and feel across all platforms.
LightBox's philosophy is to build one platform, one interface and one account that is digital first and has collaboration at the center. It strongly follows component-oriented design that is components and patterns are reused to cover all segments allowing a unified experience.
Atomic Methodology
LightBox Design System library is built with Atomic Design methodology at its core. At the atomic levels lies the colors, typography, iconography, spatial system, effects, and logos. These atoms when combined with other shapes and elements form molecules like buttons, chips, lists, tables, input fields and further these buildings blocks are used to construct all UI components.
Throughout the project, I worked closely with the development team to ensure that the design system was implemented successfully. I provided ongoing support and guidance to the team to ensure that they understood and followed the design guidelines.
Research & Interaction Design
Our team's primary focus was to design a next-generation commercial real estate platform that connects LightBox’s data, workflow, tools, and analytics, enabling customers to identify high-potential properties, and helping them make informed purchasing decisions.
We collaborated closely with product owners to incorporate different user types and their varied goals in the designs resulting in a user-centric, holistic system. Using the insights we gathered we then created user flows, designs, and prototypes utilizing the LightBox Design System.

Visual Design
Apart from UX and Interaction design, I also branched into Visual design. I established an 18-component library for RCM LightBox- a high revenue-generating legacy product. This was to ensure the system remained current with industry standards and best practices.
Teamed with Marketing to help refine digital illustrations, content layout, and structure for the LightBox website, ensuring that information was presented in a logical and easy-to-follow manner. By focusing on the visual hierarchy of the website, I was able to enhance the overall user experience, making it more visually appealing and user-friendly.
