A design system is a collection of documented elements that embody the design principles and rules of an organization. They also typically include reusable components and patterns (typography, color palettes, form elements, etc.) that designers and developers can use to efficiently create uniform and consistent user interfaces (UIs) across an organization’s suite of digital products. Although design systems are increasingly common in industry, few academic programs are teaching students about design systems. In this Master Class, we will present a model for teaching design systems that is meant to be flexible and scalable to a variety of educational contexts. Attendees will come away with a deeper understanding of what design systems are and where they came from and ideas for how they can incorporate design systems into their teaching practice.
