What this course is about

A cohort course for designers and front-end engineers who own or want to own a design system. We cover the technical scaffolding (tokens, theming, accessibility) and the harder part: getting teams to use it. By the end you ship a documented mini-system and an adoption plan.

What you leave with

  • Ship a documented mini-system with tokens and a11y tests
  • A governance model that scales past one team
  • Real adoption tactics, not theory
