LivingData: Scalable Data Visualization Design Sub-System

Posted on January 2, 2026January 2, 2026

Role: Design Lead & Systems Architect

The Challenge: Walmart’s “Living Design” system lacked a standardized way to represent complex data, leading to inconsistent and inaccessible charts across internal tools.

  • UX Process:

    • Systemic Design: Audited 20+ internal dashboards to identify recurring data patterns.

    • Component Architecture: Built a library of accessible, responsive charts (Line, Bar, Sankey, etc.) with strict adherence to WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards (color contrast, keyboard navigation).

    • Documentation: Created a comprehensive “Design Language” for data, providing guidance on when to use specific visualizations to tell the right story.

  • Impact: Standardized the visual language for data across the enterprise. Reduced front-end development time for new dashboards by 30% through the use of pre-built, themed components.

  • A few screenshots from the Figma project and the “Storybook” UI component library.
