More than ever, we know that design systems are important — whether you’re a large team with something formal or a small team flying a bit more freely. We’ve all collectively poured a lot of energy into growing our systems. But how do we know when we’ve outgrown them? How do we know when we need to rethink our approach?

At Shopify, we’re asking ourselves the same questions. Polaris is now two years old and we’re keenly aware of how it’s serving us well and how it could be serving us better. In this talk, Kyle will go over how they’re recalibrating what design systems need to be at Shopify. He’ll talk about how they are evolving design systems to become more inclusive, more robust, and less fragile than ever before. And he’ll give you a sneak peek at the future of our systems.
