Elevate your Design Systems skills to expert level with Nathan Curtis. November 18+19 2024 Online - 2 Day workshop

Limited spots only!

This workshop exposes you to essential foundations of design system architecture — the kinds of naming, composition, configuration and process challenges involved — to equip you with techniques and activities to make, spread, and maintain a system yourself.

What will you learn?

Over two days, we’ll participate in presentations, collaborative activities, and in-depth discussions of design tokens and UI components.

Day 1: Design tokens

• Set a scope for your system’s visual foundation

• Capture and name tokens for color, text, space, shape and size

• Grow from generic and semantic into component-specific tokens

• Tackle complicated challenges of composite tokens and theming

• Plan an approach to start or refactor a token taxonomy

Day 2: UI components

• Organize a catalog, including naming, metadata and namespacing

• Establish a component anatomy of default, required, and varying elements

• Architect prop configurations, including types, options and other models

• Compose and arrange elements inside components

• Balance flexibility and configurability in higher-order components
