Three fantastic speakers have been added to the roster of this year’s unmissable one-day event dedicated to design systems, pattern libraries, style guides, and components.

I feel like the majority of coverage in the design world is spent on the latest outputs from digital-first companies like AirBnB, Uber, Slack, etc. Most companies are not digital-first. And that’s okay.

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of co-hosting a retreat for senior design leaders, at a beautiful country house hotel in the Cotswolds. The group was comprised of Heads and Directors of Design from a range of well-known brands.

We celebrate not only equality but the innovation being driven by the women of Clearleft this International Women’s Day.

The first Patterns Day was in the Summer of 2017, and it was a glorious—a single day devoted to all things design system-y: pattern libraries, style guides, maintainability, reusability. It was a lot of fun, so let’s do it again!
