This past few months has reinforced two things about #DesignSystems:
1. Documentation is a work multiplier, time spent re-explaining probably should have been spent documenting. Don't do it too early, but don't wait too long.
2. Spreadsheets are still the best design system tool.
Excited to present my Advanced Design Systems workshop with @smashingconf on Feb 18–26. You'll learn:
- The design system ecosystem
- Design system adoption
- Token architecture
- Component API structure
- Governance
- Team model
- A lot more!
