💠 Today is the day! I am looking forward discussion the yay or nay's of design systems with Johannes Lehner. Hopefully many people will join the discussion so we can learn about your experiences. And for everyone not attending, you might have a read on how we approach that question when supporting organizations in the early stages when they tackle the question: "do we need a design system?"

A few weeks ago we set our Product Design principles. Our principles will help guide us through our work and give the entire business a chance to see what we value and how we set our 'Good Enough' standards. Rosie Dent-Spargo led us through a workshop which involved getting us inspired by our Pion company values. From this we came up with a set of six principles phrased as questions, rather than statements. Questions rather than statements mean we're all - from Associate to Principal - prepped to critique with direction. They're purposefully direct so as to help us get the most from our design and research time. https://lnkd.in/eZFvYwwx #productdesign #designprinciples

Excellent introduction to designerly way of design! based on the book Experience Design by Jeanne Liedtka et al., 2021 "The book was created for all those who want to become design thinkers by truly experiencing it. The authors Jeanne Liedtka, Karen Hold, and Jessica Eldridge point out that the innovative potential of design can only be embraced by changing the ways we think and act. That contains the process of becoming a more real and authentic version of ourselves. Therefore it is necessary to dive deep into design experiences to effect positive impacts not only in yourself, but also in your team and organization. With this guide you will be accomplished successfully through different process phases in your personal design thinking journey."

This week, I watched a roundtable on connecting design systems to business value organized by Into Design Systems Community & Conference. A big thanks to the experts for sharing their knowledge! Elyse Holladay, Staff Design Engineer @ Color Marcela Rodriguez Joos, Design System Leader @ UPS Adam Lagerhausen, Sr. Product Marketing Manager @ Omlet Brian Alfaro, Design Lead @ The Washington Post It’s not always easy to directly connect the value of a design system to business metrics like conversion rates. However, here are a few key business benefits: 💥 Scalability: Supports product expansion with minimal redesign efforts. 💥 Reduced Maintenance: Lowers future costs by minimizing tech debt and keeping designs up-to-date. 💥 Reduced Tech Debt: Lowers long-term maintenance by standardizing code and design assets.
