    Also as a developer who's built multiple design systems from scratch together with UX designers, its super important to keep in mind that we often start off with an existing design system (MUI, Ant, etc.) and that often times its about modifying existing ones!

  • Dear Tim, I really appreciate how you make complex topics simple to understand and it feels so easy when I learn from you. Super helpful. Always wanted to learn how to create a design system but overwhelmed by watching other huge systems as you said, but this video is very helpful and helped me get started very quickly, wrap it up faster and use it regularly. Thanks a lot!! 🙏
