A frustrating trend:

The biggest reason I see teams ignoring/violating the design system isn’t developers. It’s designers.

Some designers reinvent on many designs instead of honoring the very design system the company created.

It’s a shame. And an epidemic…
So what can we do about it? Push back. Call it when we see it:

“That’s not in the design system.”

“Can we use the design system standard approach? If not, why?”

Deviations should be rare, and require a compelling justification for ignoring the design system.
