NEW interview with DSI co-founders @brvmrtn and @runemadsen unpacks the business insights that can come out of early prototyping designsystems.international/…

We have been running a remote-first design team since before the pandemic, and we recently had the chance to document how we coordinate all of this 👇

As we have grown from just @runemadsen and I to a full team over the last six years, we have put a lot of care into building a strong and healthy remote work culture but haven’t talked much about it. Here is a glimpse at how we work at @designsystemsin

Yikes

fixed it boys

"...we’re filling our time with checklists instead of focusing on the very thing that makes designers relevant: our ability to propose new points of view and delight users with meaningful experiences." New addition to our ideas blog by @runemadsen designsystems.international/…

Design Engineering is having a big moment, and I'm here for it. At Runway, we are hiring our first ⇝ runwayml.com/careers/

So the word Figma in @figma is a misspelling

Thanks to Design Systems International (DSI) @designsystemsin for creating these beautiful graphic templates! 🌟

This article by @designsystemsin is pure gold ❤️ designsystems.international/…

I just finished this article on creating better workflows for design and engineering. The principles have formed over years of collaboration with product teams and they're central to our work on improving how we build digital products designsystems.international/…

We're finally ready with the date and early program for @ProcessingOrg Community Day Copenhagen 2023! The event is on November 11th and will, among others, feature @timrodenbroeker as a keynote speaker. More info and registration on pcdcph.com

Chief, one of Time's 100 most influential companies in 2023, needed a new marketing workflow that could scale along with their rapid growth. Our solution was a modular design system for creating both marketing web pages and emails. designsystems.international/…

Pssstttt.... designsystems.international

We were recently interviewed by the amazing @RyoSampei for Japanese magazine Spectrum Tokio (@spctrm_jp) on what we mean by design systems at @designsystemsin and where we think the digital design discipline is going. Give it a read! spctrm.design/interviews/unl…

These are amazing. Typographic compositions in ads from Brooklyn Daily Eagle, 1873. Like ASCII sigs, nearly a century early. Or @andreasgysin Towers.. From @t3xtm0de Tumblr, original find by @soulellis on @AREdotNA are.na/paul-soulellis/early-…

AI won't save you from hovering art directors

Thanks Dylan! I'm really interested in this conversation too and appreciate you joining it. I completely agree that a design process based around systems can be very creative and fulfilling. Many of these new Figma features support this, and I think it's a better product for it. I do have this nagging fear that we're building design tools on top of an immature field with workflows that might cause more harm than good ("Ready for Dev" signaling a clear waterfall process that can be really unhealthy, etc). My biggest worry is that designers will now build complex systems that are completely detached from the complex systems that developers build for the end product, which – despite efforts for syncing up these tools – will result in duplicated work and less understanding of what's possible in code. But I can see that @figma has put a lot of thought into preventing these things and I'm also very excited about the possibilities around automation that these new features afford.
