Design Systems Are inherently People Problems

You’ll often hear people talk about ‘the people bit’ of design systems, but in my opinion, this is where most of the work is. Before designing or coding anything, we need to understand the structures, relationships, and personalities around us. Putting in this work early can help with governance, adoption, and contribution later on…and it’s never too late to start.
