Overview
The Litmus Slack App was a part of the business’s first few initiatives on their “work where you work” mantra. With the ever growing and complex nature of workflows for deploying emails, the goal behind this mantra was to allow Litmus to integrate within current workflows of its users, including users of Slack. Other executions on this mantra included the Litmus Extension.
This was an opportunity for Litmus to position itself as a collaborative platform where teams worked together to achieve goals instead of just a specialized tool for email developers. The Slack App would provide timely notifications of Litmus activity to teams using Slack, including weekly reports, incident alerts and comments.

Building a Design System

2018
Overview
Litmus took on an investment of $49m in 2015, at the time it needed to rapidly grow its design team from 2 designers to 12. This meant there was a need to scale up design operations. I stepped up to help migrate design assets of Litmus from Photoshop to Sketch. This meant having to recreate all assets from scratch in a different design tool and building them in a way that they could be highly adaptable to different needs of the business.
Furthermore, as we brought in additional design talent I helped mentor and drive adoption of the system that ensured the company could maintain velocity as it continued to expand.
I also worked closely with engineering to ensure we’re able to map components 1:1 with what we have in the design system; this would ensure superior product quality down the line.
The entire process took 3 months to design and another 3 months to componentize in code, later down the line each individual designer was tasked with contributing to the system to expand and support more and more use cases.
