Our webinar, Building User-Centered Design Systems, is in just two days! It's not too late to sign up to join us. Here's a little preview from one of our speakers, Merani Cosme. The session is on Thursday (the 24th) at 2:00. It's free, and you'll get tons of great information from our user experience team that can help you with your own system work. We'll see you then! https://lnkd.in/eXGVSUsj

Whether we’re getting involved with a brand new design system or working with a client to wrangle an existing system back onto the right track, we find that a design system audit is the necessary starting point. You can read more about our approach on the Foundry. (Preview: it's a lot of listening.) And if you live in this lane, you might also want to sign up for our UnConference on building user-centered design systems. #designsystems #audit #webinar https://lnkd.in/g4_YtRMM https://lnkd.in/e-igmGcr

One of the challenges with design systems is making sure everyone is speaking the same language. And we do mean everyone: designers, developers, stakeholders, users... Angelica Cramer will be covering this during our upcoming webinar: Building User-Centered Design Systems. Details in the comments -- hope you can join us! #designsystems #ux https://lnkd.in/eXGVSUsj

Just a few weeks left before our UnConference on Building User-Centered Design Systems... This will be a (free!) two-hour webinar at 2:00 Eastern, October 24th. We’ll focus on how you can protect and value human interaction even while using increasingly advanced tooling. Hope you can join us! https://lnkd.in/e-igmGcr

We're excited to talk with you about keeping your design system aligned with user needs, particularly using evolving technology. Thank you Leah Henderson for anchoring our webinar this month! https://lnkd.in/e-igmGcr

How do we harness new tools without losing sight of the principles of human-centered design? That's the central question at the core of our next UnConference: 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗿-𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 Join us for two hours of conversation about how to find the balance between team and technology, including deep dives on terminology, user research, team hand-offs, and collaboration. https://lnkd.in/e7EBkWKJ

Back to school season has us thinking about some amazing clients we’ve worked with in higher education over the years. https://lnkd.in/eMrknvXj https://lnkd.in/ejaPKQij In both cases, our work with design systems helped set the stage for more efficient development and better web experiences. Added bonus: we've always found our clients at colleges and universities to be incredible partners. Are you the next one?

The benefits of a design system are far reaching -- the impact on accessibility, cohesion, culture, and more. But one of the hardest things to do is measure the return on investment of time in the system. Hard, but not impossible. We're proud to have worked with Gap, Inc. on a system that showed 300% return. https://lnkd.in/er4Zs2e3

Ready Freddy? If you haven’t already signed up for our webinar on the value of MVP thinking, it’s time. Let’s get together at 1:00 today to talk about how a minimum viable product is not just a shortcut. It’s the first step on a wise strategic plan. Sign up here. Soon! https://lnkd.in/eJWxgGiu

"Over the years, I came to hate the "MVP" because it really meant "less." But at Sparkbox we do things a little differently. I've stopped hating the word MVP and started to embrace it as being more intentional." - Leah Henderson Embracing the Power of the MVP Unconference - Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/eBc7StS8 #mvp #ux #uxdesign #webdesign #innovation #digital #technology
