Design Systems - Not just sketch files
Our first UX Sheffield event 2020 features Iannish Posooa who is a Senior Product Designer at what3words. His talk will cover:
-
What's a design system: We will cover a brief history and benefits of design systems. We will also frame it in today's context by linking design language and technical flexibility.
-
Choose the right framework: This is actually 30% of the job as the users, workflow and tools you use will dramatically affect the end outcome.
-
Building it: Most design systems are made from an atomic structure of Principles > Styles > Components > Patterns and here's why.
-
Sharing your design system: How do you make what you have created as accessible as possible Internally and externally.
