Design systems: how to foster participation @yaili Design Systems London, November 2018
About you…
About me…
What are design systems
A design system is not a pattern library, brand guidelines or a Sketch file.
A system of living principles, guides and components used by designers and developers to build consistent products and experiences.
A design system is a product. It has users, roadmaps, releases, features, maintenance, bugs, documentation and support.
