I.A. plays a crucial role in managing and designing design systems, as well as ensuring scalability. Dan focuses on discovery and UX work, while also addressing issues of hierarchy, taxonomy, and creating flows. They excel in tackling granular challenges like coding visual styles, as well as understanding organizational charts, product timelines, and dependency trees. Their goal as an architect is to guide teams by providing structure and support, while empowering them to fill in the necessary blanks and overcome challenges.
Managing an effective design system program is a challenge. In his new workshop “Operating Design Systems” at this year’s DesignOps Summit (October 25), design systems guru Nathan Curtis will explore the operational topics that matter most: defining a system’s vision, forming a core team, scoping and making features, and communicating and contributing across a community. He’ll also zoom out, taking on higher-order challenges of multiple systems that overlap and conflict with one another, and the competition for capacity and attention that every system craves.
