Curious how to take a design system from 0 to 1? @blakereary will be sharing how he does it at Ironclad tomorrow evening! Event is open to all and free 👉 https://t.co/UNghr6Ut6b

This week we had our final gathering of the year, oriented around design workflows & systems for early stage startups. Thank you @jonyheim @stephenmeszaros @blakereary @yayoudesign @alafritz @vknt for letting us peek into your 🔥 design files & for sharing your wisdom with us!

My words of advice for designing at a startup: 1) build “just enough” design system and 2) everything is negotiable with your team. Feeling proud to have shared my design workflow & lessons learned of setting up design at Anchorage!

D1D goes out for dim sum 🥟 A few of the topics discussed this time around: design interview processes, scaling thoughtfully from 1 to a few designers, and new teen terms (sksksk??). Thanks for joining!

Today I'm super excited to publish Figma Ninja. A game built in
@figmadesign to learn the basics and get faster with shortcuts.

Figma has helped us collaborate at a whole new level when we're remote. Being able to see other's cursors is magic.

Which designers & PMs should I meet in SF?

I'd love to talk about @Take1Design + hear their amazing stories about prototyping.

I've been talking to @Day1DesignClub members and a few friends in the city.

I'm here till 8/8 (flying back in the AM).

The 4th D1D gathering is in the books! We discussed lots of things, like when/how to work with brand agencies, consciously building time in for rest & vacation, and childhood dream jobs. At the end, we even discovered a speakeasy. Thanks for joining everyone. ✨
