John Lee at a podium beside a giant projected screen. Text on screen: WHY DESIGN SYSTEMS? Not all design systems are trying to solve the same problem Teams build design systems in service of different goals, and those goals shape every decision that follows. Design and experience consistency Faster iteration and development Make rebrands / refactors easier Drive external adoption Theming Alignment on patterns
