Deezer is a global music streaming platform with 5M+ paying subscribers and ~600 employees, including a 200-person Product & Tech organization. As a direct report to the VP Design, I've initiated the following projects: - UI rework of the whole product interface — rationalizing typography scale, component variants, and visual foundations across all key app surfaces. - Documentation of the entire Tempo design system — components, usage guidelines, governance model, and contribution processes. - Bridging Design, iOS, Android, and Frontend teams — aligning cross-functional practices and re-unified consistency standards. - Establishment of design system processes from the ground up — governance, contribution workflows, and component lifecycle - Audit of all design and technical assets — full Figma library and web/iOS/Android codebases review to identify drift and deprecated components
