Galaxy OS Design System
Building a unified, scalable design language for 500M+ Galaxy devices
Samsung's Galaxy ecosystem spans phones, tablets, watches, and TVs, each with its own design patterns, inconsistencies, and technical debt. My brief was clear: create one design language that works across all of them.
The Problem
Before the design system, Samsung's MX division had three separate component libraries maintained by different teams, none of them fully compatible. A button in the Samsung Pay flow looked and behaved differently from the same button in Samsung Health. New product teams spent 40% of their first sprint just recreating baseline components.
Beyond visual inconsistency, accessibility compliance was a manual, per-product concern. There was no single source of truth.
