Config 2024: The broken promises of design systems (Cam Worboys, Head of Design, Cash App)
Are design systems living up to their promises? Is our work higher quality, quicker, and more cohesive than ever before? Or are we accidentally drifting into a low-quality, restrictive design process that limits creativity?
In this talk, Cam explores design systems' core promises, identifying where they fall short and exploring ways to improve. Leveraging his experiences at Wise, Beats, and Cash App, Cam will share examples, advice, and stories on creating world-class design systems.
Featuring: Cam Worboys, Head of Design, Cash App

Great stuff. The problem with designsystems in larger corporations is that they don't know the best patterns for all the different user cases cause they are way too many to get a grip on, but the need to solve traditional interactions are always there, so they keep making components to cater to these. It's easier for systems in smaller environments to make clear "recopies for greatness" as mentioned here, cause if your making cookie cutter patterns for all in larger production environments you gonna fail and it becomes a restricted system prison.

Rules are meant to be broken, sometimes. Not all screens need to be crafted and innovative. A product is full of utility screens and UI which could be put together by a UX designer without much UI skills. When a screen can be crafted, here is when new patterns and components can be created to then land into the library for future usage. Craft VS Speed is an important choice to make when you work on a feature.

"Many design systems are glorified component libraries". Those words were powerful and sadly true.

Design Systems translate designs into scale, but if the design sucks that's not a Design System problem, it's a design problem 😜

Tldr: Have better design documentation for your design system and patterns This works to a degree and will break eventually. This encourages laziness for designers and will be at the crux at the design system team when any issue arises. The only thing that works is a better governance system. Simple patterns and a flexible design system. Also, the designers need to be very knowledgeable of how the tool works and how to manipulate the system without breaking things while also creating consistency

Great presentation! It’s also interesting that our team has come to the same conclusion and the list of solutions regarding the design systems quality management.
