Over my years leading design systems, I've watched these frameworks transform from "nice-to-have" into the backbone of successful product development. Most conversations about design systems get stuck on surface-level missing how they actually solve real problems for designers, developers, and product teams. Or, they dive into technical details that they miss broad application.
My goal is to dig into the practical, sometimes messy reality of building design systems that people actually want to use. Because a design system is only as valuable as the problems it solves and the teams it empowers.
