Design Operations New York 2023

The timeless principles of twentieth-century North American industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss have inspired the creation of technology from the 500 rotary telephone model to modern digital interfaces. This talk applies Dreyfuss' ideas to the design system process, so we can build functional and coherent design systems that truly serve the people who create, use, and consume them.

We'll explore Dreyfuss' human-centered approach and its potential to transform the design system process, from documentation and governance to establishing design standards and fostering collaborative workflows.
