What drew you to design systems?

I have a background in design but also love writing code, and design systems are very welcoming to multi-disciplinary folks. I love how design systems bring people together across orgs and create a shared language for collaboration.

Who have you learned from or been inspired by?

Medium posts from Nathan Curtis kept me afloat while I worked on my first design system, along with the community in Jina's Design Systems slack.

I've learned my favorite CSS trickery from Andy Bell, Rachel Andrew, Stephanie Eckles, Sara Soueidan, and Una.

Various design podcasts including SimpleBits, Honest Designers, Design Details, Design Better, and CSS Podcast
