His personal motto is, “Stay in learning mode” and this helps him to remember that every interaction is an opportunity to grow.
You have a Design System. Now What?
Tuesday, 6th – 12:15
Design systems have vast scopes and complexities—and no two are the same. That’s why establishing a collective vocabulary around design systems is key to unifying a team that can develop and mature a design system for long-term success. In this talk, Ben will present a perspective on how to gain real value from your design system based on years of research and experience. He'll offer a way to create a shared understanding inside your organization leading to a healthy systematic design practice.
