Information Architects – the Missing Link in Design Systems

April 13, 2024
11:30 AM – 12:00 PM

As design systems mature and scale, the need for organization, hierarchy, taxonomies, controlled vocabulary, and more becomes apparent. This work is all second nature to information architects, but design system teams often overlook the need for this role. Likewise, not all information architects know about this wonderful opportunity of participating in creating a design system. This talk covers the opportunities from documentation site structure to defining component labels to design token taxonomy and naming conventions that await information architects. By the end of the talk, you’ll have an idea of how information architects can help shape and structure design systems for long-term success!
