We joined forces with ITV to help create ITVX, their cutting-edge streaming service

ITVX was set to replace ITV Hub, needing a complete overhaul across web, smart TVs, tablets, and mobiles. The goal was to unify design and streamline communication across multiple teams.

Kyan delivered a dynamic digital design system that empowers discovery and self-service. It's the ultimate toolkit for ITVX designers and engineers, packed with foundational styles, component libraries, clear documentation and a governance process. This system enabled a platform that scales, shaping ITV's future.
