Design systems create consistency and harmony within brand ecosystems, and their efficiency helps designers produce better products. These are essential notions in creating great interfaces and experiences. Join us to hear from professional UI expert Kris Shrogren, who will go over Figma’s more advanced features for building design systems.

Kris will also share insights he’s learned while going through many challenges as a professional designer. Hear about how he implements design systems from scratch and communicates with other collaborators using the same design system.

Unlike other design system video tutorials, this will be a live event for intermediate and advanced-level designers. It is recommended that participants have some prior knowledge to enjoy this event.
