Starting Anywhere: Alternative Workflows for AI and Design Systems
December 1 – 10:05 AM
AI flipped the script on the traditional, linear design system workflow. That's okay. We're all experimenting, and nobody has this figured out yet.
TJ Pitre has spent the past two years working with dozens of teams to find the flow that fits them. He'll show three alternative workflows live. Which one fits depends on you: how big your design system is, how big your team is, how much effort you're willing to put in, and how well it needs to scale.
The goal is to get you thinking, and to send you back to your team with a few workflows worth trying.
December 1 – 11:15 AM
Let's be honest: work is messy. But let's see how we can make it work, and have some fun while doing it! Ask all your questions, post your problems and work with Christine, Brad & TJ, and all the other attendees, to solve them together.
Have a specific design system headache? Bring your questions, and let's discuss!
