Safety - Design System

2023 | Contract Product Design

Saftey, formerly PyUp, is a vulnerability analysis tool that scans Python packages provides a report detailing the severity of any discovered issues.

Context

The project to build out the web interface needed to move quickly, but Safety lacked a brand guide, component library, or visual guidelines of any kind. They were keen on doing a proper branding pass and design system in the future, but spending the time and effort wasn’t necessary right then given the stage of the business.

Problem

Safety needed a set of guidelines and components that sat on the border between tastefully opinionated enough to give the dashboard a degree of character, but not so much so that making changes or modifications to the brand would necessitate a holistic redesign of the site.

Solution

A set of components and styles with simplicity at their core.
