BACKGROUND

* About Seattle Design System Meetup

We are a vibrant community dedicated to fostering collaboration, knowledge sharing, and networking among professionals and enthusiasts interested in design systems.

* Who is the meetup for?

The meetup is for people interested in the healthiness and scalability of front-end user interfaces regardless of job title or function.
The meetup frequently welcomes engineers, designers, and product managers alike working across startups, enterprises and social sector organizations.

Heck, you don’t even have to be working in the greater Seattle area! We are Inclusive with a capital ‘I.’ We all feel a little bit like imposters in the beautiful struggle that is the design systems universe.
