Helios
Shared foundations for product teams. I led the design systems team behind Helios and coauthored its public launch announcement.
A common foundation
Helios is HashiCorp’s open source design system. It brings components, design foundations, patterns, and guidance together so product teams have a common place to start.
Accessibility and consistency are part of that foundation. Shared components give designers and engineers a way to carry those decisions into the interfaces people use.
My part
I joined HashiCorp to lead its new design systems team. In January 2023, we released Helios publicly. I coauthored the announcement with Misha Dhar.
This was the work of a team of designers and engineers. My role was leading that team; the system itself reflects their expertise and the needs of the product teams using it.

The public documentation is the best way to explore Helios: the components themselves, the guidance around them, and the source code behind the system.
