Brad Frost's Talk

Let’s Build A Design System!

Tuesday, 13th – 10:10 AM

Build a design system in less than an hour? That's crazy. But not entirely impossible. In this session, Brad will demonstrate how to use Pattern Lab to simultaneously build both a design system's front-end components and several screens of a real pilot project.

Throughout the talk, we'll discuss topics like front-end code architecture, designing in the browser, modular development best practices, designing with dynamic data, and more.
