Description
With this presentation, we look at updated research about content in design systems. We’ll see the results of a survey of more than 200 systems and assess how they do or don’t include content. And we’ll also talk about the contributions content professionals can bring to design systems. These contributions stretch beyond documentation and voice and tone guidelines. There’s a long list of things content strategists can bring to both design and systems. Let’s talk about them and how you and your organization can take steps to make them happen.
