DESIGNING A DESIGN SYSTEM

In this session, Jina, a Lead Designer on the Design Systems team at Salesforce UX, will share:
- Strategies for how to approach, design and build an effective design system
- How to successfully maintain the system to ensure ongoing usefulness
- Elements that design systems need to be sustainable that are critical for success
