Design System

Pave updated Neuromodulation’s design system to improve UI consistency, accessibility, and product delivery speed.

Overview

Challenge

Individual product teams designed & engineered their products independently, and as the portfolio grew, the design & technical debt led to an inconsistent experience, and reduced team delivery speed.

Solution

We designed Boston Scientific’s
