Building Digital products is usually a collaborative endeavor involving designers, engineers, product managers, and other stakeholders. For designers, one of the major challenges of this collaborative process is ensuring the consistency and usability of products as design teams scale.

Design Systems help address these challenges by providing a standardized collection of reusable components and patterns that can be assembled together to build any number of applications.

In this introductory workshop on Building and Managing Design Systems with Sketch and Invision Design System Manager, you’ll learn how to design flexible, reusable design system components in Sketch and how to collaborate on, share, and maintain design system libraries with Invision Design System Manager.
