The twelfth appointment of our monthly meetup will be with Tammie Lister (Experience Designer at <A HREF="https://automattic.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Automattic</A>, the company behind <A HREF="https://wordpress.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WordPress.com</A>) and Cristiano Rastelli (Front-End Engineer at <A HREF="https://team.badoo.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Badoo</A> and co-organiser of <A HREF="https://twitter.com/webdeldn" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WEBdeLDN</A>) .
This month we will have two talks linked by a common fil-rouge: storytelling. In fact, each talk is a story, told by a first-hand protagonist, of two big business-critical projects. The first one is about the complete redesign of one of the core parts of WordPress, the content editor (which involves UI/UX design, the introduction of a new tech stack, a very strict backward compatibility, and much more). The second one is about the introduction (by a developer!) of a design system in a design-driven company, and all the complexities, the failures (the "dragons") and the wins of this quest.
