About the Workshop
Learn to build scalable Design Systems
A design system is a platform to identify, decide on, and enable how to share design tokens and front-end UI components.
This workshop builds from basic to advanced concepts to teach you how to solve challenges like naming, taxonomy, composition, configuration and workflow.
As a result, you’ll leave equipped with knowledge and techniques to make and maintain design tokens and components yourself.
