@itspatmorgan @aakritiahujaa As a designer who manages a design system team I can validate that it’s def similar to being a product manager 😂

@aakritiahujaa Agreed. Also, sounds similar to a product manager!

Design systems people: Who is the ideal person to lead a design systems team? (role, background, etc...)

@JonFoxUX Would love one if it’s still available! 🙏

Who needs a Bluesky invite?

What streaming companies are at #Config2023 ? Would love to meet up and talk shop! 🙏

So many great talks today at #Config2023 can I start building new tools for my design system now?

Coming out of social media hibernation for #Config2023 so so so excited!

@rogie @zoink Best outlook is to be cautiously optimistic! We love our Figma DAs and the community you helped create no matter what. No business deal will ever take away from the incredible people working on Figma 🙏

@RossWGibson @zoink I feel this, and only time can tell. Appreciate you sharing, Ross.

Ok, so unless you're living under a rock (sounds kinda nice tbh...so peaceful), you've heard about Figma × Adobe. I'm still processing it all too 💜 But, what I really want to know how you feel. What are you most concerned about and why? Lay em on me.

@joshhemsley I’m honored! Hopefully one day there will be a way to branch a component and submit changes instead of detaching 🤓

@RossWGibson Haha I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t thinking about you when creating this 😂😉 lol, miss ya man.

Made this one for all my Design System Managers out there…

We’re building a dedicated design system team from the ground up at Paramount+ If you know any PM/scrum master who likes solving scalability/UI problems, let’s chat! careers.viacomcbs.com/Paramount+/job…

Happy #Config2022 everybody! Paramount + is hiring designers. DM me if you’re interested in learning more! careers.viacomcbs.com/job/Burbank-Pr…

@joeyabanks The urge to start refactoring components immediately 😂

Spacing in design systems is hard. This makes it easier. I can't wait to get this tokens in production! uxdesign.cc/how-to-manage-…

@joshhemsley Yes dude! It's so refreshing to see when someone creates personal connections in their work. Humanize it and you'll instantly form stronger connections

8/10 If you don’t have any work to show, either make some up or take a different approach. Let me get to know you. Shoot a video or something introducing yourself. Tell YOUR story. Make it engaging and personal. While the work is important, the person behind the work matters.

Hopefully this is helpful… Today I browsed over 75 design portfolios looking for someone to hire. Here are my 10 takeaways: [yes, a thread]

@joshhemsley If it’s not in the Jira ticket then it doesn’t exist
