Building and Maintaining a Design System

In the rapidly evolving world of digital product design, it is often hard to see the forest through the trees when creating a consistent experience across teams of designers and developers in large organizations. As a result, we have moved from focusing on the design of individual applications to focusing on creating design systems composed of a combination of design aesthetics, ui components, interaction patterns, code standards and even voice and tone that can be used across the entire ecosystem. In this session, we will explore how to build and sustain a design system and I’ll share lessons learned from building and maintaining the FDA's Labcoat design system.
