Design Systems
Pulls frameworks from product leaders at Figma and Airbnb to help you decide if you need a design system and how to build one people will actually use. Covers the fundamentals like separating concept from production with low-fidelity wireframes, designing assets that teach their own usage, and avoiding the trap of over-engineering something only expert designers can navigate. The guidance skews practical: it'll push you to assess adoption strategy before you build, flag if you're too early stage for this investment, and help scope whether you need tokens, components, or full documentation. Best when you're scaling a product team and inconsistency is becoming expensive.
