Living System Infrastructure
Evolving systems from static libraries into dynamic products that serve other products.
A design system is not a library of parts; it is the infrastructure that enables product velocity. Success is found not in the completeness of the library, but in the effectiveness of its governance and evolution. We discuss how treating a design system as a living product allows teams to adapt to new technologies—including AI-assisted creation—while maintaining strict standards of accessibility and performance.
System as Infrastructure
Design systems function as foundational platforms that enable product velocity.
Governed Evolution
Standards, governance, and versioning guide growth without slowing innovation.
Adaptive Resilience
Living systems evolve alongside new technologies while maintaining accessibility and performance.
