Design systems that survive the reorg
Brightloop’s design system has survived three reorganisations, two rebrands and a merger. This talk covers the governance model that made that possible: contribution paths that don’t depend on a single team, tokens as a contract between design and engineering, and the metrics we use to decide what to deprecate.
- A contribution model you can copy
- Token naming that survives rebrands
- Adoption metrics that leadership understands
