The 80GB Bottleneck: An Unsustainable Legacy
Before the system overhaul, our global content generation process suffered from three critical inefficiencies.
Problem 01.
80GB Legacy Files: The team struggled with an overwhelming 80GB of fragmented Photoshop files.
Problem 02.
Broken Consistency: Typography, colors, and layouts varied wildly across different regional assets.
Problem 03.
Manual Localization: Translating content for 8 different languages required tedious, file-by-file manual editing.

Beyond PDF: The AI Design Assistant
To ensure the new guidelines didn't end up as just another forgotten document, I developed a custom internal GPT trained entirely on the KODAK design system.
From Manual Labor to Scalable System
By establishing modular Figma components, I transformed a fragmented 80GB manual workflow into a scalable design system. This structural overhaul eliminated visual inconsistencies and enabled a seamless, one-click localization process across 8 different languages.
