DESIGN SYSTEM: Building blocks to consistent UX
Meet-Up Details
Hi UX designers in Hyderabad! Let's meet to share our thoughts and experiences in designing great UX, and network with one another.
A Design System is a collection of shared patterns and practices that allow teams to build quality user interfaces consistently and quickly. Patterns are the repeating, reusable parts of the interface, such as buttons, colours, icons. A bit like LEGO bricks. Practices are how we create, organize and share those patterns.
While the core UX practices are concerned about leveraging user centered design approaches to design exceptional user experiences for the end users, a Design System focuses on how those experiences can be delivered in an efficient, consistent, and effective manner over and over again.
Design Systems can cover a variety of areas depending on the size of the teams and their unique needs. A well structured design system not only addresses the problems centred around cross-functional collaboration and hand offs, it also provides a beacon of understanding in the form of guidelines and standards, that help the teams take informed design decisions
In this talk we’ll explore how the team at Hexagon PPM built their own design system in order to meet their own needs and hopefully learn some ideas on why and how you might need to create your own.
