The components of a successful design system : Architecting a system to facilitate culture change in an organization

Over the last few years, design systems have become a solution to drive coherence and consistency across products, but so many systems experience a failure to deliver on the promise. Beyond reusable components and styling, a truly impactful design system can become a catalyst to influence the design culture at a company, but there’s not a one size fits all solution. It needs to be tailored to fit your company.

I’ll explain the foundational elements for a successful design system, and strategies to facilitate adoption based on my experiences working on large scale systems at Salesforce, General Electric and Facebook. The common thread has been collaboration, transparency and iteration. With all the elements in place, a design system is much more than a pattern library. It has the potential to be a catalyst for significant change to how you build products at your company, ultimately delivering higher value to your customers in a more efficient way.
