Lessons Learned From Running a Design System …

… or How to Escape a Filter Bubble

Inspired by Brad Frost's talk about Atomic Design in 2013 at beyond tellerrand Christoph went back to trivago with the mission to completely change the way they deal with developing and designing the user interfaces for their products.

From changing the mindset on how to approach frontend development and design to refactoring their whole CSS codebase (know as Project Ironman) to introducing the first version of a design system in 2015.

In his talk Christoph shares the learning they had through successes and failures during the introduction, roll-out and maintenance of their design system. He’ll cover experiences concerning collaboration, fast changing environments, biases and technical requirements.

Join Christoph on an interesting journey with many ups and downs and the result of craving their own path and deprecating their pattern library while still having achieved the original mission: to change the mindset around UI engineering.
