WELL EVERYBODY, Chapter 4 of the Atomic Design Certification Course is finally complete! You can watch the videos right here.
This chapter covers the arc of the entire design systems journey:
-
The never-ending process of selling design systems
-
Kicking off a design system initiative and getting up close and personal with the specific challenges and opportunities at your organization
-
Planning a design system effort, figuring out which pilot projects to create, who's going to do that work, and how you're going to make it happen
-
Designing and building a design system, where I stress the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration to co-create the design system's architecture, token naming conventions, API design language, and component structure
-
Launching a design system out into the world
Everything I cover here is the encapsulation of my 13 years of deep design systems experience working with dozens and dozens of organizations and teaching thousands of others. As I recorded this, I reflected on just how hard-earned all of this knowledge was. I hope it helps you on your design systems journey.
What’s next? Well, I’m currently recording THE LAST CHAPTER about maintaining design systems. As we all know, design systems work is never done, and I'm covering all that goes into maintaining and evolving a design system over time.
Expect an update soon as the course nears completion.THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH once again for your continued patience and understanding as I've struggled to get this course out to you.
Love always, Brad
