Background

Before VDS

Verizon’s 40 apps and 250,000 unique url website lacked consistency. Brand guidelines existed, but were not prescriptive enough to encourage true uniformity.  Reusable elements such as buttons had differing radii, text scales were rampant etc.  Additionally, developers would have to custom develop each and every piece for every project.

The Verizon Design System looked to consolidate designs, prescribe fundamentals, and make every developers efficiency skyrocket.
