Abbott Global Web Ecosystem

A modular design system that unified Abbott's corporate and divisional sites across markets, built for strict brand governance and fast local rollout. 


ROLE:   Senior Art Director / Lead Designer 


INDUSTRY:   Healthcare & Pharmaceutical 


SCOPE:   Global website system, component library, brand governance


COMPONENTS:   30 modular, custom-designed 


MARKETS:  8 countries 


TOOLS:  Figma, Adobe Creative Suite 


The Challenge

Abbott's digital presence spanned corporate and divisional sites across multiple markets, each evolving on its own and drifting apart visually.


The brand needed one coherent experience that could scale internationally without forcing every region into the same mold. It had to satisfy strict brand governance and hold up to review, while staying flexible enough for local teams to move quickly and publish on their own.

What I owned

  • Design of the 30-component modular system end to end
  • The comprehensive global style guide and usage rules
  • Annotated sample designs for dev and regional handoff
  • Led internal team / collaborated with, agency, partners

Impact & Results

Built once, deployed everywhere.

  • 45%  Faster international site rollout 
  • 29%  Lift in brand-consistency / engagement metric
  • 8  Country sites deployed on the system
