Special: Building Components For Consumption, Not Complexity (Part 2)

Whilst I prepare the next batch of 8px Radio episodes, I'm sharing a recording of an article I published on Smashing Magazine about components.

In the previous installment in the series, we took a good look through the process of building flexible and repeatable components, aligning with the FRAILS framework. In this second part, we will be jumping head first into building adoptable, indexable, logical, and specific components.

Is Kate an AI? Who knows, not even me to be honest.

Special: Overcoming imposter syndrome

Hey everyone! I was published in Smashing Magazine this week with an article titled "Overcoming Imposter Syndrome By Developing Your Own Guiding Principles", and thought that because it's a long article you may like to hear an audio version of it.

Let me know what you think 🙌

Here's the link to the article if you'd like to read it: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2022/07/overcoming-imposter-syndrome-developing-guiding-principles/

Special – An intro to design systems

I was recently interviewed in Furquan Ahmad's YouTube channel about design systems and thought it would great to cross-post it to you all as it works just as well as a podcast.

We discussed:

What they are in 10 words
What they aren't!
How to encourage adoption
Whether they limit creativity
Advice for junior designers getting started with them
Naming convention advice

Hope you enjoy this cross post 👋

After our episode, Charli and I had a great chat about the design industry, becoming a creative director and when we should or shouldn't educate others.
