Hey y’all! Can we get an #introductions thread going? (Also, search doesn’t work for posts so I couldn’t scroll far back to see if any was created) There’s many new and familiar faces, and it’s cool to see so many great types of designers all together. Share some stuff!

Hey all! I’m Nikhil, UX manager at Workato, building out the Platform design and design systems teams. Been here since 2018 when I joined as the second full-time designer. I get really excited about Design systems, interaction design and motion design!

Same here, I’ve been on the system side for both product and brand and could talk about this stuff for hours. How have you seen the design system grow through your tenure there?

Nice! Yeah I caught a bit of your work over on Design Twitter. When I started we had a 1-page style guide. Now we’re a larger team (5 product designers), and have a mostly complete Ui kit (with barely any docs), and it’s partially code-synced. Long way to go 😅

Haha it’s always a journey. That’s cool though that you have that many designers on it. I’ve always been a sole effort for the ones I’ve worked on. So it’s good that some companies do staff it out.
