Dan Mall: Scaling design systems
Manage episode 428036642 series 1520632
There’s a reason why we’ve been talking about design systems for a number of years now—it’s the key to collaboration at scale. Few people get that more than Dan Mall who has helped the world’s most recognizable brands create design practices that are truly sustainable and successful.
We spoke to Dan about his new book, Design That Scales, which dives into how to create, manage, and sustain a successful design system. And he shares where the people involved in a design system fit and how they can best collaborate.
In case you missed it, Dan also joined us for an AMA recently. He’s a wealth of knowledge.
