Hands-on sessions with Design Systems experts which are hosted on the 14th November (9am - 5pm).
Tickets can be purchased separately bellow.
Most people are either inheriting a design system that already exists, or are trying to apply a design system to a product that already exists. So where do we start when that is the case? This workshop focuses on this real-world scenario most of us face in design systems, and how to move forward:
1. Refresher on Why We Do Design Systems in the First Place.
2. Refactoring and Realigning a Current Design System.
3. Retrofitting a New Design System into an Old Product.
4. Reinforcing Your Design System for Longevity and Maintainability.
Intended Audience: Intermediate Design Systems Practitioners
Hosted at CCT Venues Barbican (135-137 Aldersgate St, EC1A 4JA)
This is a hands-on workshop for designers and developers in which you will learn how to define a common language for collaboration and iterate on products faster. Learn the best practices of component driven design and how to standardize your design patterns. Leverage Figma and React to build a component library that can be used in products and can evolve as teams use it. At the end of the day, you will have a small but complete Design System implementation that will cover the full product lifecycle.
Sections will cover: an introduction to Design Systems; design concepts; development and collaboration.
During this hands-on workshop designers and developers will work in pairs.
If you are a designer with experience in the field of product design and familiar with tools like Figma or Sketch, this workshop is for you.
Intended Audience: Developers with a basic knowledge of React
Hosted at YLD (124 Aldersgate Street, EC1A 4JQ)
ReactJS is one of the most influential forces behind the rise of the Design Systems paradigm. Its component centric approach offers high reusability and composability constructs making React a perfect match to this approach.
In this hands-on workshop you will impress yourself by building your first reusable, composable, and maintainable user interfaces in ReactJS in a safe, training environment, designed for your learning.
We hope you will take your newly acquired knowledge of ReactJS to collaborate more effectively with Design Systems creators and users.
Intended Audience: Beginner Design Systems Practitioners
Hosted at YLD (124 Aldersgate Street, EC1A 4JQ)
Millbank Tower, 21-24 Millbank, Westminster, London SW1P 4QP
