Casual Breakfast on Design System Teams and Governance
This time: less presentation and more workshop!
Join us for another Casual Breakfast (on design systems, AI and not only): coffee, ideas, and a proper chat.
Our topic is "Design System Teams and Governance". Who designs and builds a design system? Who runs it day after day? Who works on adoption? The answers can look totally different depending on company size and structure, short- and mid-term goals, or the resources you have. We'll walk through different options together, everyone is welcome to jump in with their own experience and questions.
Meeting facilitators:
Rafael Sepeda, Design Systems Leader | Team Builder & Strategy Owner
Varya Stepanova, Design Systems consultant, manager & engineer
As usual: low-key, open conversation. You can join as a designer, engineer, or somewhere in between. Bring your coffee and something to bite, or stay fully focused on chat, we don't mind either.
