Pro tips from a design team of one

My Into Design Systems conference talk is now free to watch on YouTube!

Initially, this talk was behind a paywall, but in support of my plans to launch my own YouTube channel, Sil from Into Design Systems (IDS) released the video from behind the paywall!

You’ll learn a little bit about my journey to becoming a designer and some of my essential pro tips to survive as a design team of one.

I’ve added the talk to a playlist of other IDS events I’ve been a part of. It would mean a lot to me if you would follow my channel while I get the rest of my new content ready for the world to see.

📐 I’m presenting again this year!

I’ve been researching how to name design tokens for the last 6 months and I feel like I’ve finally cracked the code.

At the Into Design Systems online conference May 15-27th 2024 I’ll be sharing what I’ve learned in a workshop style presentation on how to name and automate design tokens along side the incredible Romina Kavcic of thedesignsystem.guide.

We each have a different approach to this process, so if you are a spreadsheet wizard like Romina, or prefer a tactile sticky-note process like me, we’ve got you covered!

I’m pulling double duty 🙈

In addition to giving my presentation, I’ll also be joining the IDS team as a host!

Apparently doing a presentation that is a disruptive concept isn’t enough for this silly Sam I am…

I’m set to interview some of the legends who are known authorities on naming design tokens before they give their presentations, so it should be interesting!

Any guesses who?

Thats all for now friends! ✌️
