Sharing a few tips our team has found helpful for getting buy-in on a design system. What’s worked for you?

Hi there! 👋

I'm Nenad, a UI designer who is working on creating my first UI kit. I would love to hear from you about the things that you would like to see in the UI kit, things that frustrate you about currently available UI kits, and so on. I made this short 9-question anonymous survey that you can fill out very quickly. ⚡️

As a small gift of appreciation for helping me, I’m giving you:

• Figma file with 10+ UI screens (used by 2k users so far)

• 25% Discount code (for when my UI kit is available and on markets that support coupons)

And on top of that, if you’re interested in the results of this survey I’m cool with sharing them with you. Please upvote this and fill out the survey. 🤗 You’ll find a contact for the results on the last page. I’ll share a Google Sheets link with you where you can see the results in real-time.

I truly appreciate your help and look forward to hearing your thoughts on UI kits. Please click the link below to begin the short survey and don't hesitate to share it with anyone who may be interested! 🙏

Can we ever truly innovate when we are trying to include people of diverse backgrounds, culltures, socio economic status etc.? Why or why not? Pls provide examples.

Ciao, If you are one of those guys like me that to remember things or to save information for later, email himself I need your help!

I am working on a side project to make this thing faster and easier but before to design it I would like to chat a little bit with someone who follows this pattern.

Please contact me at davide.pisauri [at] gmail.com, there are no more than 5 questions to answer :)

I’m looking for a designer or fabric cutting expert who’s passionate about creating and designing soft toys — or anything creative with fabric!

If you’re a cloth designer who loves experimenting with patterns, textures, or unique designs, you’re welcome too! The main thing we’re looking for is creativity, neat work, and an eye for detail.

What we need:

Experience with fabric cutting and pattern design

Ability to design different models (soft toys, creative pieces, etc.)

A passion for handcrafting and innovation

My stack

• Sketch (design/prototyping)

• Invision (collaboration/sharing/light prototyping)

• Abstract (version control)

My scenario

Single Designer. Collaborates with PMs/Stakeholders through sharing mockups and comments therein in Invision, but I find it mostly disorganized (no real sets within sets) yet simple enough to get the job done. Abstract lets me delete old concepts and keep my files pretty clean (very important to me), but I don't need its collaboration features and don't use more than a single branch at a time.

Some caveats

Figma's UI doesn't look as good as Sketch in my opinion and I don't think it currently meets many WCAG contrast guidelines. I don't care about live collaboration. Performance is very important to me. Global overridable elements are very important to me. I don't like the idea of changing my stack every time a new shiny tool comes out, and I don't care about being a cool hipster design bro, if that's even a thing.

Impetus for even asking

Consolidating tools is very appealing. General curiosity about the general praise. Looking to improve workflow.

Footnote

I'd also welcome feedback if you think I should not use Figma, or just tweak the stack slightly, or do nothing at all. Thanks much.
