Michel Ferreira, Figma's Design Advocate, will challenge you on whether your design system is actually serving your product. Drawing on twenty years leading design at Shopify, Atlassian, and Booking.com, he'll unpack why many component libraries fail in practice and what needs to change. This is a panel format, so you'll also hear from Scott Obara, founder of Traceably, a service design platform focused on complex multi-channel experiences. The evening attracts Sydney's design and product community at a new venue, hosted by HI Pages Sydney, so it's a solid chance to hear from someone who's shipped design systems at scale and connect with people building products locally.
