The Design System Rollercoaster: From Enabler and Bottleneck to Catalyst
for Change

Embarking on a design systems journey is a rollercoaster ride for the entire organization, not to mention the team that runs it. The success of a design system will depend on many factors beyond the UI inventory or tech stack — they will manifest themselves differently in each organization, by amplifying communication and collaboration patterns for better or worse.

As an experienced design systems leader, Nina shared practical insights from her journey of managing design systems that add tangible value to the organization and initiate positive and transformative changes in our approach to collaboration, design, development, and UX.

She shared how we can use design systems to drive meaningful conversations, build bridges, and create new paradigms.

Design Rituals to Unlock your Teams' Potential

Whether it's a morning routine, a historical tradition, or a religious ceremony, rituals play an essential role in shaping our identity and connecting us with others. Likewise, rituals can be a powerful tool for building a strong design culture, promoting collaboration, and unlocking the team's potential to achieve better design outcomes.

In this talk, Nina walked participants through the most important designer ritual formats, exploring how these shared experiences can bring chemistry, alignment, and collaboration to your team's creative process.

And the best part?

Participants learned how to design a ritual from scratch, including all the essential ingredients for success, and started applying what they learned within a week!
