TALK: A CAREER WITHOUT A DESIGN SYSTEM

Do passion projects lead to paying work? Can creative fulfillment sit alongside commercial failure? Is it possible to be successful without a plan? In this talk, Elliot designs a system in reverse, looking back at the messy paths that have led him to interesting places in his career.

CONVERGE 2024

At Converge '24, we embraced a theme that extended beyond the functional boundaries of design systems—inspiring excellence in design systems. We explored the dynamic ways teams are scoring wins with their design systems. Looking ahead, we also heard about emerging trends and potential strategies that could further elevate our work.
