In a collaborative venture with Big Medium, Southleft embarked on a mission to revolutionize PetSmart‘s digital presence through the creation of the PetSmart Design System – Sparky. This initiative aimed at building a comprehensive, cohesive design system to underpin the diverse elements of PetSmart’s website.
Unleashing Unity in Diversity
The primary challenge lay in unifying PetSmart’s web presence, which was fragmented with various contractors handling different sections. The goal was to integrate these disparate parts under one umbrella, leveraging the power of Sparky’s components to foster uniformity and efficiency.
Strategic Synergy
Our approach, in partnership with Big Medium, was twofold. Firstly, we concentrated on developing accessible, user-friendly components. Secondly, we established a routine of weekly meetings, bringing together developers and designers to ensure coherent integration and collaboration. Utilizing tools such as Storybook, Typescript, and Adobe XD, we laid the foundation for a robust and scalable design system.

A Visual Symphony of Innovation
The process was a symphony of innovation and visual appeal.

We successfully set up a governance structure, which facilitated PetSmart’s in-house teams in seamlessly incorporating the design system into their workflow.
