The Design System Ecosystem
What does a mature, end-to-end design system look like in a big, complex organization? What are all the moving pieces, and how do they hang together as a well-considered architecture? What’s required and what’s optional? Hold onto your butts, because we’re going to go deep on this one. Let’s start here: a design system’s relationship to digital products can be boiled down like so: There’s a design
Let's talk about web components
Web components! They’re currently at the vanguard of web development and are a reliable source of hot drama in the community. We’ve built a number of web component-powered design systems with Fortune 500 companies over the last 4 years, and it’s been a wild ride. We’ve seen a ton of success, we’ve bumped up against many rough edges, and we’re still here. We are increasingly relying on web componen
Design System Interview Questions
Successful design systems are finely tuned to the organization they serve. At the beginning of every client design system engagement, we spend a great deal of time learning about our client’s culture, politics, products, tools, and workflows. Sure, we’ll get links to decks, GitHub repositories, and Sketch libraries, but these artifacts don’t really tell the story of how digital products get built
Style Guide Guide, Gatsby Edition
We’re happy to announce Style Guide Guide, Gatsby Edition! You can check out the demo here. The workshop and the storefront There are lots of moving parts, tools, and environments involved in making a design systems take shape. We’ve found it helpful to break down two important environments of a design system into the “workshop” and the “storefront”. The “workshop” is the environment designed for
My struggle to learn React
I’m going to be honest: I’ve had a hell of a time getting my head around React. More than any other technology I’ve touched over the last 10 years of my career, I just haven’t had it click for me. It’s very frustrating as I really want to learn it, and it’s clear the library has legs. Thankfully, Dan Abramov reached out to me when he saw me tweet in frustration about learning the library. He’s bee
What's wrong with CSS-in-JS?
I have yet to dive deep into CSS-in-JS, but I’ll admit I’m skeptical. This podcast by Chris Ferdinandi lays out a lot of the reasons why I’m a bit apprehensive. Three other observations I’ve noticed as I encounter CSS-in-JS in my consulting clients’ work and other projects I come across: Lack of portability: So much of my work involves helping gigantic organizations create and deploy design system
Style Guide-Driven Design Systems
There are many facets of a design system initiative, so it can be extremely daunting to figure out where to begin. There are stakeholders to educate, tools to choose, principles to establish, frontend guidelines to settle on, components to build, tokens to create, design guidelines to write, contribution models to sort out, and so on. In my workshops and consulting engagements, I’ll often have tea
Frontend Design
Somewhere between design – a world of personas, pixels, and polish – and engineering – a world of logic, loops, and linux – lies frontend design. Frontend design involves creating the HTML, CSS, and presentational JavaScript code that makes up a user interface. A frontend designer (who may also go by UI developer, client-side developer, UI engineer, design engineer, frontend architect, designer/d
Style Guide Best Practices
Style guides and pattern libraries are essential tools to help Web teams maintain sanity while creating experiences for our multi-device Web. The benefits of style guides are many: they establish a common language, make testing easier, save time and effort, and create a useful reference to keep coming back to. And most importantly, it lays a future-friendly foundation for your organization to modi
Responsive Images
There’s three topics I avoid discussing: religion, politics, and responsive images. But now that the responsive images dust is settling, I figured it’s time to face the music and actually learn this stuff. So here’s how I’m going to write the majority of my responsive images: <img src="small.jpg" srcset="small.jpg [smallwidth]w, large.jpg [largewidth]w" sizes="100vw" alt="Alt Text" /> That’s it. S
