1) Noelle Lansford: Design System Lead @Alaska Airlines
“Space Oddities: Navigating the Nebulous Language of Design Systems”- Design systems promise to solve the design-engineering divide at scale. But what if the divide exists within your own team? Misalignment within your core building blocks can breed chaos, not efficiency. Is it a simple 4px gap, or a "2px margin + 2px padding" chasm preventing clear communication?
2) Kaelig Deloumeau-Prigent: Principal Software Engineer @Netlify, Co-chair of the Design Tokens Community Group
"You suck at design tokens" - We'll explore common traps teams fall into by overcomplicating their token architecture or using harmful patterns, and how to avoid them in the first place.
