Join us for the first in our brand new deep dive webinar series, where we explore essential topics shaping the future of design systems with zeroheight. We're kicking things off with a focus on component hygiene — why it matters, what it unlocks, and how we manage it at scale inside the zeroheight platform. Whether you're building from scratch, scaling, or managing a mature system, expect tactical tips, real-world lessons, and a fresh perspective.

**We’ll cover:**

*   How strong component management supports org-wide adoption
*   Why visibility and tracking are essential to roadmap planning
*   How transparency drives contribution across teams
*   Our technical approach to building and scaling component sets

Speakers:

Luke Murphy, Head of Advocacy

Dan Crowe, Full Stack Product Engineer

DS Live is a new webinar series from zeroheight where we invite the best speakers from around the world to deliver talks on design systems, and everything that goes on around them, with live Q\&A after the talk.

***

For the first DS Live, we're inviting our very own design advocate, Luke Murphy, to deliver their talk on Building Delight into your Design System, where they will cover off what it actually means to build delightful products, and how we can integrate that into our design systems work day-to-day.


DS Live: Luke Murphy - Building Delight into your Design System

The great design system shrink is real. Now that we're through the halcyon days of endless budget and resource on the back of golden promises, it's time to show the results. In 2025, leaders are asking for proof of the value of design systems, while we all still feel under-resourced, and we're being told to do more with less.

Luke, our resident design advocate, and Alan Weibel, UX Architect at Salesforce on the Lightning Design System, will dive into the areas of proving out design systems to leadership, resourcing your team, and knowing what the break points are. How do we convince the business to invest? What roles are non-negotiable? And is it ever possible to do more with less?

Live recording of the fortnightly podcast Design Systems WTF, where Luke Murphy and Michelle Chin attempt to combat all the amazing wtf in design systems. In each episode, they answer a single question around design system troubles with a Q\&A from the live audience.

As an apt way to end a very long season one of Design Systems WTF (don't worry, they'll be back later in the year), Michelle and Luke dive into the topic of when to quit. Is there a point where the uphill climb is too steep? Or should we keep on fighting the good fight forever?

Does a centralised team provide the most effective design system governance model? Can a single overlord provide cohesion or just become a bottleneck? And can a federated model ever really work? Amy and Geri join the debate team to argue the pros and cons of design system governance.

In this series, Amy and Geri put aside their vocal and opinionated assumptions to dive deep on design systems topics; from Figma libraries to design tokens to deciding if AI can really write decent documentation. Climb aboard the school bus for a field trip on the history, the conversations and the foundations that really make a design system great.
