After hundreds of conversations and months of iterating, my new @designsystemu has an updated site that shares more about how you can level up in #designsystems!

@alexpage_ Thanks Alex! Same - will definitely miss the jam sessions. You’ve been a great collaborator and mentor. Such a fun ride building the team with you and others 💜

Today was my last day at Shopify after four years working on Polaris — going to take a moment and then jump into exploring what's next. So many incredibly thoughtful, talented folks were impacted today, if you're looking or need to fill an open role we've started a resource here

I really like this search experience in Polaris by @ShopifyUX 🔥

It's nicely acknowledging the fact that there are different types of content living in a design systems documentation and each type has different display needs for search results.

This week we released Polaris v10.

This is the 7th major Polaris release in my time at @Shopify and my favorite. It's the most data-driven and really demonstrates the impact of design systems at scale.

🧵Some highlights...

Erin was a part of the team that created the iconic Polaris illustration style and helped transform and modernise it through the years.

Erin is lightning in a bottle when it comes to team culture, fun and making people smile. Be quick, Erin won't be available for long.

Mental models are useful tools to simplify our complex reality.

But unfortunately, when misapplied, these "useful" models become anything but.
