Atomic design thinking has revolutionised the way we structure and scale modular design systems, but translating this thinking from design to development has remained a challenge.
In this talk, Joshua Braines-Mead and Will Robertson from Southpaw share their journey of building a robust modular design system for an ASX-listed enterprise. They discuss leveraging atomic design principles to create scalable components with React and Tailwind CSS that correspond perfectly across Figma and Storybook.
Attendees gained an understanding of modular design principles and challenges, the implementation approach, and learnings for fostering better collaboration between design and development.
