In this overview, the Strategic Communications Digital Team will give an overview of what a design system is, who it’s for, and how to get the most out of it. We will also walk through this year’s overhaul of the UCLA Design System which includes a rebuilt Design Kit in Figma, rebuilt front-end components, added documentation, and a new Wordpress Theme. We’ll also be on hand for questions and feedback.
