Nurturing Design Systems: A Practical Guide to Growth and Impact
Just as a garden needs the right conditions to thrive, a design system requires careful cultivation to take root and flourish. This talk offers a practical guide to nurturing design systems that not only grow but also deliver lasting impact. Marianne will explore the essential elements for building successful design systems, from initial idea to strategic growth, including:
- Team Dynamics Assembling the right team with the necessary skills and collaborative mindset to foster a thriving design system culture.
- Stakeholder Buy-in Securing support and resources from key stakeholders across the organisation by demonstrating the value and potential impact of the design system.
- Technical & Design Foundations Establishing the core principles, processes and infrastructure for a robust and scalable system, ensuring it can adapt to future needs.
Strategic Growth
Planning for the long-term evolution of your design system to meet changing needs and maximise its impact across the organisation.

I have been so inspired after the event! It was lovely to be amongst my own kind of people and to learn from each other. I'm full of new ideas to improve my own work. Would love to attend again!
HS Design Operations has provided me with the opportunity to understand DesignOps roles and their challenges to a much more detailed and informative degree.
Attending the HS DesignOps event in London has given me the chance to connect with amazing people, fostering friendships in this expanding community. The organizer consistently made me feel welcomed and valued before, during, and after the conference.
