Salvador Sánchez i Campos - Demystifying Design Systems, a simple introduction - SCBCN 25

Design systems are often misunderstood as just a collection of UI components — but in reality, they're much more. They are evolving ecosystems that bring together developers, designers, and content teams to build cohesive, scalable, and accessible digital products. In this talk, we'll unpack what a Design System is and what it isn't, walking through its soft principles like inclusivity, engagement, and accessibility, as well as some of its hard foundations such as progressive enhancement and design tokens. You'll also hear real-world lessons from maintaining and evolving a design system in production — including how we keep users engaged, what happens when things fail, and more. Whether you're a dev, designer, PM, or curious newcomer, you'll leave this session with a better understanding of: Why Design Systems matter (and who they serve) How they help you scale quality, not just UI What it means to build for everyone — not just the 99% How to get your team excited and involved This session is great for those starting out or wanting to improve collaboration across roles.
