Overview

In the dynamic realm of UX/UI design, Micro Animations play a pivotal role in shaping user experiences at ZoomInfo. These subtle yet impactful animations enhance interactions, provide seamless guidance, and significantly improve usability. By crafting our own set of tailored micro animations, we aimed to create an engaging and user-friendly experience that leaves a lasting impression.

Vision
The goal

Our goal was to integrate custom Micro Animations into our platform's main components, elevating interactions, guidance, and usability. With these subtle yet impactful animations, we aimed to create an enjoyable and user-friendly experience, fostering user satisfaction and loyalty to our platform.

the challenge

The challenge arose from neglecting Micro Animations in our products and relying on existing libraries, resulting in inconsistencies and usability issues. To overcome this, we established a cohesive user interface by seamlessly integrating custom Micro Animations across all interactions, enhancing the overall user experience, and reinforcing our brand identity at ZoomInfo.

ACCESSIBILITY

Dedicated to inclusivity, we ensured all our products and platforms are accessible to users of varying abilities.

SOLUTION
design tokens

Design Tokens streamlined the creation, maintenance, and scaling of products within our design system by offering a centralized set of visual attributes. At ZoomInfo, adopting design tokens ensured consistent style values across all platforms, guaranteeing alignment and a cohesive user experience.

KEY FACTOR

The key factor in overcoming our Micro Animations challenge was establishing a collaborative design system. By creating a comprehensive library of design tokens, we standardized Micro Animations, eliminating inconsistencies, and achieved a polished user experience across platforms. This efficient approach allowed us to iterate, adapt to user feedback, and deliver captivating experiences at ZoomInfo.
