7:20pm Design System Bias – Ben Callahan (30 mins)
Without intention, our personal biases creep into everything we do. The same is true with design systems. In a recent poll, over 75% of the design system practitioners who answered agreed that there is bias baked into the assets, documentation, or processes their system offers. What we do with this information is what matters. This presentation explores the impact this bias plays in design system adoption and offers some approaches for combatting that bias.
7:50pm Q&A Panel Discussion (25 mins)
Join our expert panel to discuss discipline bias in design systems – bring your questions!
On the Panel:
Brianna Long, Senior UX Writer at NetJets
Georgia Loper, Software Engineer at Upstart
Ben Callahan, Founder at Sparkbox
(Host) Noelle Lansford, Design System Consultant at Alaska Airlines
