Design Systems 101 with Keivan Sina

In this episode, we are fortunate to be joined by Keivan Sina to discuss all things related to the Design System at Instapro. We kick off the show by defining what a Design System is and the problem it aims to solve. This leads us to delve into the target audience for the Design System and how its addition affects the design process. Moving on, we highlight the journey of creating the Design System within Instapro, including the subsequent team adoption. Finally, we explore what is on the roadmap going forward, and provide some useful resources for further exploration of the topic.
