Adding the foundations after the house has been built: design systems at Auto Trader
with Dan Donald
Design systems are a big thing at the moment and for good reason. That’s great when you have a greenfield project but what about when you have multiple sites on multiple platforms and contend with legacy code? The realities we work with can give us many challenges but they’re not insurmountable.
Dan will talk about his experience of the elements – many non-technical – that make design systems a success.
About Dan
Dan started out as a front and back-end developer, typically taking a design and creating the code and databases to make it happen. Over time he expanded into design and really embraced IA and UX/UCD practices to amass a diverse skillset.
He’s spoken at events like Future of Web Design, DIBI, Hybrid Conf, Leeds Digital Conference, and Wuthering Bytes; written for .Net magazine; and co-organises UpFront Conf.
Currently Front-end Development Lead at Auto Trader, Dan’s previous work includes McCann and the BBC.
