Dani Nordin & Salem Ghoweri: Data-driven design systems - how to create a web styleguide that doesn't lie

Drupal Nights Hosted by BioRAFT, Cambridge MA

Official Event Announcement

As UX becomes increasingly Agile, a need arises to quickly create and iterate new interface elements. Many popular frameworks exist to document front-end design patterns. Most of them connect directly to the website's CSS, and help developers easily create new interface elements and templates.

But what happens when the design and UX team can't work in code? How can we create truly cross-functional design documentation that works both for developers and designers?

In this session, we will describe the process we have been working on to document our existing design patterns and create a working set of elements that allow both for rapid iteration of design prototypes and implementation of templates in code.

This session is for UXers who work with teams that include both front-end developers and visual/interaction designers, who need to create and iterate on interfaces in rapid, Agile environments.

Drupal Nights are FREE events!  Let us know you are coming so we know how much food to order.
