Regular Foundry readers know that Sparkbox has been deeply engaged with design system thinking for many years.
Maybe you’ve taken the Design System Maturity Assessment, or attended one of our many design system UnConference sessions. Now we’re deepening our commitment to the topic by sponsoring and sharing Ben Callahan’s “The Question” series. Ben is a founder of Sparkbox and a leader in the design system space. The Question is a platform that allows Ben to bring the design system community together to explore specific issues and developments. You’ll find episode one below, and we’ll continue to add new episodes as they’re available.
If you have ideas for new topics or questions about how Sparkbox can help with your design system, please reach out directly to ben@sparkbox.com.
