@XDS | Creating design systems that scale at a fraction of the cost & time.

“‘Let’s imagine you combine a designer, engineer and QA specialist to design, build, and test buttons. If these staff cost $100/hr, and it takes this team of three 200 hours combined to design, build and test buttons at this level of…” — frog Editor https://t.co/U3VbdA5i4C

Me using min/max and wrap building layout components.

[Michael C. @michaelcarrick]

@svorklab @juangarcesme Agreed. They should have stuck to token or built variables for prototypes. Together it’s confusing and yet not enough.

[Michael C. @michaelcarrick]

@ormanclark I have been waiting for min/max and wrap for too long. I don’t think variables are up to par yet, but love where it’s going.

[Michael C. @michaelcarrick]

@amirmxt Working on it 😉, I hope to have a demo when you are back.

[Michael C. @michaelcarrick]

If I hit add mode instead of add variable one more time I will lose my shit. 🤯 Come on figma you can do better. #Config2023

[Michael C. @michaelcarrick]

#Config2023 amazing new features! Min-Max settings for width and height!! Wrap for auto-layout 🤯. Variables great for prototypes, not a replacement for tokens.

5 mistakes designer often make when building a design system in figma. #figma #designsystems #TOP5 https://t.co/OafVNGrG8s

[Michael C. @michaelcarrick]

Maybe it’s a design system maybe it isn’t… are you willing to take that risk. DM me about #designsystem audits.

[Michael C. @michaelcarrick]

Product owners need to understand design. Design already understand business. #truth #designsystems #educational

@yagudaev Agree with @KirkMDesign icon first for recognition the content to reinforce. B primary CTA when there is only one call to action on a screen.

Design systems are not about design as much as they are about systematic systems. Just showed a designer how to apply it to complex illustrations.

🙏🏼 Muchas gracias

[Michael C. @michaelcarrick]

Thanks @amirmxt for sharing, I can't stop laughing.

[Joie Chung @hellojoie]

still laughing at this

[Michael C. @michaelcarrick]

@ormanclark glad I am not the only one who does this.

[Michael C. @michaelcarrick]

@darylginn The ability to say "No" to bad design.

[Michael C. @michaelcarrick]

Collaboration is key to a diverse and inclusive design system.

@ormanclark Have a reason for everything.
