Episode 132: Moving From Bricklayer To Architect
“Design systems are the tool that enable us to step out of being individual makers, crafters on particular interfaces. And it elevates our craft to a point where we're able to spend more time focusing on our users, bringing in our stakeholders, collaborating more and less time just kind of grinding through production.

It helps us just be a more valuable set of contributors in any organization.” - Nick Hahn
