Terra Design System

Terra is a design system built for a Fortune 1000 company to support rapid design and development of marketing sites. Its sister product, Luna, is a template system of organisms that are assembled to build larger page templates.

Trimble’s Integrated Marketing Services required a design system to support new marketing sites. The design, development and implementation of this design system and set of templates has brought consistency to a fragmented system. Terra is now being implemented across numerous websites for Trimble.
