Workshop overview

AI is here whether we're ready or not. It's powerful—and that means it can make a huge mess when it collides with an organization's standards, constraints, and realities.

Design systems help teams ship consistent, high-quality UI by providing shared language, reusable parts, and guardrails across design and engineering. In this workshop we'll combine those forces: use AI with design systems to strengthen foundations, improve product work, and responsibly explore what's next.

What you should expect

• A taught, practical day: concepts + examples + hands-on exercises
• Real demos: prompts, workflows, and "how this actually works at a company"
• Discussion + Q&A throughout (not just at the end)
• Artifacts you can reuse: checklists, prompts, and a playbook outline

What you'll learn

• Cut through the AI hype learn the core concepts for using design systems and AI together
• Identify the 3 core use cases for AI + design systems
• Use AI to audit and strengthen design system foundations (tokens, components, docs)
