Spectacular Component Structure and Styling with Design Tokens
Full-day workshop • Monday, June 23, 2025.
Developing UI components and design token taxonomy is expanding beyond just design system teams to everyone. Design and code tools are improving quickly, and a broadening community is making and sharing reusable components. With such scale, you must establish, share and grow well-architected UI components and tokens to style them across design and code.
This workshop exposes you to essential foundations of UI component architecture — the kinds of names, purposes, structures, and styling choices leveraging design tokens — to equip you with techniques and activities to make, spread, and maintain spectacular components yourself. -

Design Patterns For AI Experiences
Full-day workshop • Monday, June 23, 2025.
As product teams race to include AI in all products, they often feel bolted on, disconnected, generic, slow, inaccurate, wasteful. The responses are generic and users have to meticulously articulate their intent to AI interfaces, with the burden often being kept on users’ shoulders.
In this workshop, we’ll explore shiny new design patterns for better AI experiences — with daemons, clustering, style lenses, structured presets, agentic UX patterns and templates, dynamic editing, temperature knobs and everything in-between! Plus, a design process on how to integrate AI to increase reliability and build user’s trust. -

Spectacular Component Props, Layout and Slots
Full-day workshop • Tuesday, June 24, 2025.
If you’re making components other people reuse, you’re expected to make implementing interfaces easily configurable and exceedingly flexible. Every component is different, with subtle variation. Yet those that use your components expect a catalog – or even a broadening ecosystem – to echo clear and consistent patterns of props and composition.
This workshop exposes you to a deep understanding of component API architecture – the props, slots and layout they’ll engage with – to equip you to make, maintain and evolve the most spectacular components.
