Design at scale

Empowering change through community

A thriving community is paramount for the success of a design system. It fosters collaboration, knowledge sharing, and a sense of ownership among designers, developers, and stakeholders. This collective effort strengthens the system's impact and accelerates adoption.

We'll support you in setting up a community of practice where you'll establish rituals, document key information and build an internal communications process.
