About the Workshop
Learn to build scalable Design Systems
This workshop exposes you to scope, plan and run processes to make features, deliver releases, tackle complex initiatives, and guide an organization through a major new generation of an entire library.
These processes create the foundation by which a system can pursue its vision, realize its strategy, evolve teams and practices, and create lasting value for an organization.
We’ll cover techniques and nuances of these processes across different shapes and sizes of systems so that designers and developers can make a robust, high-quality system together.
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.
Hands-On Collaboration & Networking
Over the course of two days, we’ll cover techniques and nuances of processes across different shapes and sizes of systems so that designers and developers can make a robust, high-quality system together.
We’ll participate in presentations, collaborative activities, and in-depth discussions.
