Description

Do design systems really benefit your team, or is it just industry hype? Discover the tangible impacts of design systems in the next episode of the Design Systems Diaries. Johannes Lehner, along with Daniel Ley and Jonas Ulrich from kickstartDS, will discuss effective strategies for demonstrating the value of design systems, even without relying on metrics. Learn how to help your clients or management understand the benefits of design systems. Guests Jonas Ulrich and Daniel Ley are the founders of kickstartDS and owners of ruhmesmeile, a consultancy specializing in design systems and headless CMS. After over 15 years of experience developing websites and UIs as a traditional online agency, they sought to improve how teams work on web frontends. This vision led them to establish kickstartDS as a corporate venture in 2021, providing an open source meta framework for design system creation. Host Johannes Lehner is a Lead UX Engineer at Intact, Initiator of the UX Graz community, Advisory Board Member at the 24 Hours of UX, Chairman at barcamp Graz, Regional Representative at the UXPA Austria, and a true UX Unicorn 🦄.
