Level up UI design skills: Learn design systems with Atomic Design
If you’re getting into ui/ux design, more than ever, you need to learn design systems.
But there is just so much to learn in Design Systems that go well beyond design. You have to learn to collaborate with stakeholders and especially developers. You have to create intricate component systems and Figma variables. Create tokens, annotate & document them until the entire team understands how and when to use them.
Ever have a 2 hour meeting on what to name a button variant? Yeah…
So when you’re first getting into this, instead of focusing on all the additional stuff that goes into creating & maintaining a design system, learn Atomic Design.
This is a systematic approach to UI design that will not only make you a better designer in general, but also start building the additional skills that are required to maintain a design system.
I recently posted a 45 minute deep dive in what Atomic Design is, and how to implement it properly. So go check it out!
