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 next DS Live we're inviting our favourite design systems consultant, Amy Hupe, to do a great talk all about jargon.

In this talk, Amy will explore the theme of jargon. She’ll talk about why it’s important to avoid jargon when communicating with colleagues and users, and when it can actually be a good thing.


DS Live: Amy Hupe - A Whole Lot of Nonsense

Join us for the 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 measuring adoption to prove the value of your design system — why it matters, how to communicate value, and how we can aid with that 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:**

*   Why measuring adoption is an essential piece in scaling your design system
*   How to communicate this value of your design system to the people who matter
*   How we approach adoption tracking in the zeroheight platform
*   How we built our adoption tracking features, what compromises we made, and what direction we're going in

Speakers:

Luke Murphy, Head of Advocacy

Lucy Harris, Senior Product Manager

Seth Corker, Full Stack Product Engineer

Design systems are powerful tools, but they’re often underutilized when it comes to accessibility. This session will dive into how accessibility and design systems teams can collaborate to overcome mutual challenges. Attendees will gain practical strategies to break down silos, improve collaboration, and create better, more inclusive digital products. Whether you’re part of an accessibility team, a design system leader, or a product designer, this session will provide insights to help you make accessibility scalable, sustainable, and impactful.

Design systems aren’t just about consistency anymore, they’re becoming the connective tissue between people, tools, and intelligent agents. In this talk, TJ Pitre introduces the idea of Context-Based Design Systems - systems that don’t just describe what components look like, but embed what they *mean*, how they *behave*, and when they *should be used*. You’ll learn how this shift supports AI-enabled workflows, reduces ambiguity, and creates space for better collaboration between design and engineering. This talk is for anyone tired of treating broken handoffs and shallow documentation as status quo and curious about what happens when we build systems that are designed to think ahead.
