⭐️ The Usability of a Design system
Benedikt Kaemmerer - Digital Product Designer & Design System Expert

Everyone is building Design Systems to create better products for users and customers. And yet, despite spending a lot of time on designing the right UI tokens, selecting accessible colours and much more, many design systems have one big flaw: The users of the system are left behind and have a hard time dealing with libraries and documentation. The curious thing is that we already know how to prevent these usability issues and assure the effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction of a product. Join me and learn how to apply the techniques that you already know and start building a usable, outstanding Design System.

⭐️ Why your design system needs an API
Louis Chenais - Co-Founder & Chief-Evangelist @ Specify

He's also an editor for the W3C Design Tokens Community Group working on a standardization for design tokens. He will describe the concept of a design API. Explain why it is the evolution of a design system. Finish with a demo of Specify.
