Horizon Design System
It’s not every day that you get to launch a design system, and even rarer is the chance to do so in your first few months at a new job. Within the first few weeks of joining ServiceNow, I was lucky that this became one of my core contributions.
ServiceNow’s Horizon Design System is a centralized resource for components, design patterns and UX expertise, intended to empower its customers, partners, and its own internal teams to design exceptional experiences on our platform. We can also argue that it goes beyond simply creating, documenting, and publishing these UX elements. It is also a way of working. Afterall, that is the most certain way for an effort like this to succeed: living and breathing a collaborative, open and transparent practice of building products.
On this page, I have gathered some of the visuals my team and I created for the launch of Horizon.

If you want to learn more about what Horizon means for ServiceNow, have a listen to my colleague Meredith Van Lier talk about our efforts at The Design Systems Podcast. But most importantly, please visit the Horizon site to see the all the content for yourself.
Early concepts I developed as a possible illustration direction.
These illustrations were created by my team: Monique Lindsay, Jeremy Van Cleef, Francisco Govea, Ryan Blackman, and Katherine Chen.
