So when strategic planning for Converge came around, I finally had the platform to make the case, arguing that a shared design system would speed up development across it, and proposing Semantic UI as its foundation after evaluating it against other frameworks. Once Converge was approved, so was Momentum, but budget constraints ruled out a dedicated team to build it.

Fortunately, that didn't have to stop us. We took Momentum directly to the organization, presenting it company-wide and asking for volunteers to help build it during their allocated innovation time. I led the UX foundations, principles, and accessibility guidelines while our Software Architect handled the shared component structure.
