Crafting Design Systems

Scaling enterprise consistency with Radial and Roadster

The Problem

CDK Global had adopted Material Design, but it was a poor fit for high-density enterprise applications. Designers were working around the system, and developers were building custom overrides for every complex component.

What We Shipped

We built two design systems from the ground up. Radial was the enterprise system, purpose-built for core products, handling complex data visualization and information density. 100+ components were shipped with comprehensive Figma libraries and React implementations.

Following the acquisition of Roadster, we created a companion system optimized for consumer-facing digital retail experiences, enabling rapid rebranding and partner customization.
