Design System Workshops & Training
The topics I cover help teams make great Web experiences and set organizations up for long-term success. Here are some of the areas where I can help:
-
Design Systems
I cover all that goes into creating successful design systems, from high-level strategy all the way down to the nitty gritty design and development details. I tackle thorny areas like buy-in, strategy, roadmap, team structure, design system workflow, UI design, maintenance, and a whole lot more.
-
Atomic Design
I introduce atomic design, a methodology for creating robust interface design systems, and show how to make pattern-based design and development the cornerstone of your team's workflow.
-
Style Guide Best Practices
Pattern libraries lead to more consistent user experiences, saving organizations huge amounts of time and money in the process. I comprehensively cover everything that goes into creating and maintaining successful style guides.
-
Process and Workflow
Our websites are fluid, so our workflows needs to match. Updating your culture, processes, and workflows is no easy task, but I'm up for a good challenge. I help organizations establish pragmatic, actionable strategies to get teams collaborating, communicating, and making great web experiences together.
-
Responsive Design Strategy
There's more than one way to skin this multi-device Web cat. I unpack the various strategies used to approach the multi-device Web landscape and help your organization pragmatically implement the right strategy.
-
Responsive Design Principles and Concepts
Go beyond responsive design 101 and learn what goes into creating flexible, performant, resilient, and future-friendly web experiences.
-
Responsive UI Patterns
Creating responsive interfaces is challenging, but thankfully the Web community is hard at work creating flexible, downright innovative responsive UI patterns. I walk through how to tackle tricky layouts, navigation, images, tabs, data tables, and pretty much anything you can put on a screen.
-
Frontend Development Best Practices
I discuss concepts like CSS architecture, mobile-first development, progressive enhancement, “support” vs “optimization”, device testing and more to help teams develop future-friendly web experiences and choose the right tools and technologies.
Who I've Worked With
From Fortune 500 companies to scrappy startups, I've had the pleasure of conducting workshops with some fantastic companies across a variety of industries. Here's just some of the companies I've worked with:
Brad ran a fantastic two-day workshop with our team and struck the perfect balance between design and engineering. His thoughtful and pragmatic approach really resonated with us.
Chris Saint-Amant, Manager, UI Engineering at Netflix
Brad's workshops and presentations kick started several initiatives that we will be working on in the coming months. Brad is an excellent communicator of both the strategic benefits of atomic design and the practical implementation of it. I would definitely recommend any business looking to take their web experiences to the next level, to have a chat with Brad.
Aleksander Hakestad, Sales Director B2C at Santander Consumer Bank
Brad’s design system workshop helped inform, inspire, and enabled us to create working, tangible deliverables with next steps for our highly cross-functional organization. We were impressed by Brad’s focus on people, culture, and process that he brought to the sessions. The tools are very important, but we often jump straight to them. Immediately after the workshop, our designers and developers were truly collaborating—proactively carving out time to work together on something they were passionate about, that also benefits our business.
Ben Ramsey, Experience Design Manager at Abercrombie & Fitch
Our organization is very siloed and there is not a lot of collaboration between design and engineering. I felt having Brad speak to our group gave us a common vocabulary as well as give us some motivation and direction. It was definitely worth the investment, and Brad really went above and beyond what we expected from him.
Mike Aparicio, User Interface Engineer at Groupon
If you're into design systems, I can't recommend enough Brad Frost's workshop. It was a game changer for us as an organisation and a privilege for me as a professional
Marc-André Boivin, UX/UI at Vanderlande
Sound good? Let's talk.
