REQUIRED SKILLS

• MUST HAVE: Direct experience with IBM’s Carbon Design System.
• MUST HAVE: Demonstrated experience building, extending, or maintaining a substantial design system in Figma.
• MUST HAVE: Advanced proficiency with Figma components, component properties, variants, variables, modes, styles, libraries, and prototyping.
• Demonstrated experience creating scalable variable and design-token structures.
• Experience adapting or extending an established design system rather than designing only stand-alone product interfaces.
• Strong understanding of component anatomy, states, responsive behavior, reusable interaction patterns, and systematic design.

Project Scope and Deliverables

The contractor will audit and complete the existing Figma design system. Deliverables include:

• Audit the current library and recommend a prioritized completion plan.
• Finalize the variable and token structure and apply it consistently across the library.
• Complete Meijer styling for the in-scope Carbon components using current Figma best practices.
• Configure properties, variants, responsive behavior, and interactive states so designers can use components without detaching instances.
• Strengthen the Data Table to support Meijer’s data-heavy internal applications.
• Create approximately three to five custom components, including navigation and card elements, based on gaps confirmed during the audit.
• Collaborate with the Design System Developer to align Figma assets, tokens, naming, states, and coded components.
• Publish the completed library and recommend a process for requesting, reviewing, and accepting future contributions.

If time permits after completing the approved light theme, the contractor may also establish or extend the variables and tokens required for a dark theme.
