"There's so much optionality out there. Until you've made that conviction to pursue your passion, you might not be aware of those options," shares Jing Jing Tan, a self-proclaimed psychology geek currently leading user research at Uber Eats in Toronto.
Evolving systems with data and heart
We've built a cross-platform design system with hundreds of thousands of weekly Figma inserts and an accompanying super plugin. But like everyone, we started with only a few components and multiple one-off plugins. We've carefully matured our design system through data and heart. Yet it hasn't been always straightforward.
