Special – An intro to design systems

38m · 8px Radio · 27 Jun 20:06

I was recently interviewed in Furquan Ahmad's YouTube channel about design systems and thought it would great to cross-post it to you all as it works just as well as a podcast. 

We discussed:

  • What they are in 10 words
  • What they aren't!
  • How to encourage adoption
  • Whether they limit creativity
  • Advice for junior designers getting started with them
  • Naming convention advice

Hope you enjoy this cross post 👋

Special: Overcoming imposter syndrome

Hey everyone! I was published in Smashing Magazine this week with an article titled "Overcoming Imposter Syndrome By Developing Your Own Guiding Principles", and thought that because it's a long article you may like to hear an audio version of it.

Let me know what you think 🙌
