All in work

Working with design systems

Design systems as a field have matured over the past few years. Now you can find hundreds of examples of them, as well as fantastic resources, communities & new tools. I have been working as Design System Lead at Ruter for a few years now, and I’m proud of how our design system has become a truly collaborative cross team effort. I thought it was about time that I shared a few tips, tools and essentials to help others getting started.

Ruter wins gold at Visuelt

We won the DOGA award!

Every year, DOGA Norway honours the best design and architecture in Norway. Our team at Ruter were totally thrilled to receive this years award. Together with Bakken & Bæck and NoA Ignite, we’ve have been working on a new digital visual universe and a completely new mobility app designed to help millions of travellers on a daily basis.

Strim

For the past few months my team have been developing and designing a brand new streaming service across browser, tvOS, iOS and Android. It has been a fun project in which we have achieved a lot. A big part of that was making everyone part of the design process. Here is how we did it…

Not to be dramatic but, I made an app and it changed my life.

Since creating our app the amount of places with veggie options in Norway has increased dramatically. We now have over 1000 places listed in the app, and over 20,000 users. I have learnt so much about app development, the restaurant scene and the vegan scene, and most importantly I have made some friendships that I hope will last forever.

Nice to meet you

Hello and welcome to my blog and very first blog post! My name is Sally Renshaw and I am a young(ish) British woman who lives in Oslo, Norway, with my boyfriend and three cats. I've had a funny old life, and when I started to open up about it recently, the people around me started telling me about their lives too. I realised how important it was to talk about our personal experiences, reaching out for help when times are hard, and sharing wisdom on how you can go from coping to thriving. I used to be scared of being honest and vulnerable but I'm not anymore.
