Wed, 22 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000 Meetup recording for DSCC Toronto’s meetup on March 22, 2023. Featured talks: “Why You Should Use Tokens and Tokens Studio” by Brandon Surya “Code is for designers, too” by Mateo Morris Wed, 22 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://designsystems.community/resources/20230322-Integrating-Design-and-Code-Event-recording/ https://designsystems.community/resources/20230322-Integrating-Design-and-Code-Event-recording/ One of the largest pain points designers face in translating their designs into code is having to go through developers. No-code tools let designers circumnavigate developers, but usually come with the downsides of being generic, restrictive, and unscalable. So what does it look like when code becomes more approachable and designers can access it themselves? Wed, 22 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000 https://designsystems.community/resources/20230322-Code-is-for-designers,-too-presentation-slides/ https://designsystems.community/resources/20230322-Code-is-for-designers,-too-presentation-slides/ You’re using tokens and you don’t even know it! One of the goals of a design system is to close the gap between multiple disciplines and especially between design and development. With the features and tools Figma provides us, this gap becomes smaller. But what if I tell you with the proper integration of design tokens, we can make this gap closer than it was ever before. Sounds great right? Let’s talk about tokens and how it can level up your design system!

The pipe-dream to create a fully modular software system is still alive and strong, so what have we learned over the years and across different practices? And how do teams today adopt a modern view to an age-old problem?

Then content design patterns emerged. Today, many design systems have embedded content guidelines for each component. Drawing on personal experience, Ryan discusses how his work as a product content strategist has been shaped by Polaris, Shopify’s design system.

In this talk, Jacqui explores who the users of a design system are, what they need from it, and how writers can develop, test and iterate content to meet everyone’s needs.

Among other things, an accessible design system! I’ll talk about Slack Kit, Slack’s design system, and a selection of the building blocks that made it possible and accessible. Today Slack Kit powers product development at Slack but that was not always the case, this is the story of how we got here.

How are we scaling it in an inclusive way? Let’s talk about the framework we’re using to design winning strategies, and some of the lessons we’ve learned along the way.

But how much information is too much? What content should you prioritize? What about serving different audiences - designers, developers, QA, business? Nadia will address these questions plus share some tips, tricks, and lessons learned from spinning up a Design System at a large organization.
