Atomic Design Course Update: Creating a Design System in Figma Is Published in Chapter 3

Hey all!

I'm excited to announce that I've published the course content for creating a design system in Figma! I step through 6 different levels of design system integration:

◉ Level 1: Static product designs (not a design system in sight!)

◉ Level 2: Introducing components

◉ Level 3: Full component adoption

◉ Level 4: Design token adoption

◉ Level 5: Organization and documentation

◉ Level 6: Distribution, publishing, and consuming Team Libraries

I focus on the Figma features necessary to create and maintain successful design systems. So this is less about the nitty-gritty of auto layout and more about design systems success!

Give it a watch:

I also want to apologize as this has definitely taken longer than I wanted! We've been getting pulled around in a bunch of directions, but also needed to create all of the demo files in Figma, code, and documentation. I know these are excuses, but they are also my reality.

I appreciate your continued patience, support, and understanding! Now that the demos are created, I'll be recording and releasing things as soon as possible.

Once again, I'm sorry for the delay in getting this to you, but I'm excited to give you the best course possible!
