Bringing topics in the personal finance sector to life through visualizations

As a content strategist at Credit Karma, I launched a new initiative to bring data visualizations to content across product verticals in order to

improve the user experience and increase SEO rank across pages

‍

While the data visualizations were successful, the team struggled without a clear style guide to instruct them on UI elements, particularly in folding these elements into the overall Credit Karma design system.

In consultation with stakeholders from the team as well as a product designer familiar with the overall design system, I created a data visualization style guide for my team.

Here's an abridged version of the data visualization style guide. Specifically, this is part of the section on color usage.

Other sections included elements like spacing, typography, and the use of alt text.
