Breaking our design system on purpose
What a DFDS hackathon showed us when mixed teams of designers and developers used our design system, with AI tools, to find where it breaks.
Organised and facilitated by me.
Work
One case study in progress, and the roles that got me here.
What I learned
A design system is shaped by the way people collaborate around it, and you only see that when designers and developers use it together, for real.

Kind words
“He always actively contributes to projects, bringing fresh ideas and a keen eye for detail.”
“… he was able to quickly and easily explain design choices and relay them for me to pass on, in a way I wouldn't have been able to articulate on my own.”
“He has an excellent eye for detail and is always keen to learn as much as possible to improve on areas where he wants to grow.”
