Live recording of the fortnightly podcast Design Systems WTF (back for season two!), 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.

Time to get spicy... One of the big promises of the hype of design systems was that it would reduce organizational and product complexity by providing efficient, replicable ways of doing things. Now that we've bedded in, its time to ask - how much do design systems actually reduce complexity? Do they just reorganize and make complexity more palatable?


Design Systems WTF #45 - Do design systems reduce complexity or just reorganize it?

Join us for another instalment of our deep dive webinar series, where we explore essential topics shaping the future of design systems with zeroheight.

This month, we’ll be looking at how to systematize your use of zeroheight.

We’ll cover how to create replicable, reliable documentation using features like custom templating, synced pages, internal tagging, embeds, design blocks, and footer blocks — and give a peek behind the curtain at how we approached building two of our newest AI-powered features.

*We’ll cover:*

*   What it means to create your documentation in a systematic way
*   How you can create custom templates and synced pages to ensure your documentation is consistent
*   Tips and tricks using the other blocks
*   Using AI to scale fast and maintain consistency — including how we approached building these new capabilities

Speakers:

Luke Murphy, Head of Advocacy

Lewis Smith-Tong, Senior Product Manager

Chace Stewart, Senior Product Engineer

A bit of a deep topic this week – how important is consistency as a concept to be aiming for with design systems? Obviously, it's one of our design systems' selling points, but in a world where we're moving more and more towards browserless, how important is component consistency, or can we see a place where foundational consistency is all we need?


Design Systems WTF #44 - Should we care about consistency?

We took a few months off and y'all went and changed everything... We dive into the wonderful world of contextual design systems. Do MCPs finally offer what we need to make our design systems serve information up contextually? Are there major things we need to refactor? Or is it all smoke and mirrors?


Design Systems WTF #43 - Are we finally at the point of contextual documentation?

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.
