— PAUL SAFFO “It used to be that designers made
an object and walked away. Today the emphasis must shift to designing the entire life cycle.”
design for enterprise has big challenges
quality, craft, & consistency
tons of content & complex navigation
accessibility
designing for the future while dealing with legacy
how can we design for enterprise?
design for sustainability
design for customization
design for scale
design pages

design systems
redlines?
None
redlines for large- scale applications can be a nightmare
style guides are all the rage …AND THEY HAVE COME
A LONG WAY

APPLICATION AREA COLORS
what if a new color gets added? THE STYLE GUIDE
NEEDS TO BE UPDATED, TOO
TYPEFACES
TYPE SIZES
how do we keep colors, spacing, & sizes consistent?
how do we make future design changes easier?
how do we keep our design system agnostic?
