Still buzzing from the Into Design Systems AI Conference 2026. Two days of honest conversations, practical insights, and a clear view of where AI and Design Systems are really heading. Highlights for me: • TJ Pitre, Brad Frost and Ian Frost on “AI without the chaos”. A reminder that AI only becomes powerful when it understands context. TJ’s Figma Console MCP is a perfect example, and I can vouch for it firsthand. • Davy Fung showing how accessible it is to build AI powered Figma plugins that extend your system’s intelligence. • Romina Kavcic grounding everything in the bigger picture with dashboards, collaboration, and using AI to validate and strengthen your system. The takeaway: Design Systems matter more than ever. While the internet fills with identical, inaccessible AI generated interfaces, this conference focused on the opposite. It showed how AI can reinforce systems, sync with code, and scale across complex products. Huge thanks to Sil Bormüller for organising such an impactful event, and to the brilliant hosts Andressa Lombardo, Marco-Christian Krenn and Philipp Jeroma. I loved supporting the hosting team behind the scenes. It was a privilege to contribute to something that brought so much clarity to the community. If you work in design systems, the replays are absolutely worth it! This space is moving fast, and these conversations are shaping what comes next.

This was a great mix of super practical and the most up to date AI and design systems info you could get, from some of the best people in the field, all crammed into an excellent two-day agenda. I'm already putting a lot of what I learned into work today to modernize our design system and to create an AI native design team . And, I'm able to teach my team with confidence, knowing that this stuff actually works in practice. The materials and recordings are some of the best I've seen. I'll definitely be back next year!

As a design systems professional, Into Design Systems AI Conference was exactly the kind of event I didn't know I needed. The speaker lineup was genuinely impressive, with real practitioners from top companies sharing practical, actionable insights on weaving AI into DS workflows. Beautifully run, silky-smooth stream, and special mention to the music between talks: That was a vibe! The IDS team clearly puts their heart into this, and it shows.

Being part of the Into Design Systems Conference as a speaker was such a special experience 🦄 The energy, openness, and willingness to learn from each other made it feel less like a conference and more like a community 🥰 The Into Design Systems Conference is one of those rare events where you leave with both practical knowledge and genuine inspiration 🧚🏻‍♂️ I left feeling inspired and already looking forward to the next one 💚

Into Design Systems is one of those rare events that actually changes how you work. I've attended twice now and both times I came away with practical ideas I could bring straight back to my projects, not inspiration that fades in a week, but real workflows and perspectives that stick. This year's focus on AI was exactly what I needed. Working in design systems for enterprise clients, it can be hard to cut through the noise and find content that's genuinely relevant to what you do day to day. This conference does that better than anything else I've found. The speakers aren't just talking about concepts, they're showing what they're actually building and shipping. The biggest thing that sets it apart is the community feel. It's inclusive, it's honest, and it never feels like people are performing expertise. I always leave feeling like I'm part of something, not just an audience member.

This is easily the most cutting-edge design systems conference out there right now. The level of thinking is incredibly current—speakers go beyond theory to show how AI is actively shaping real design system workflows, with insights that feel immediately applicable. As someone deep in the work and trying to stay at the forefront of Ai, that’s rare and invaluable. The event itself was also very well run, and the Q&A added more personalized insight. Looking forward to the next event as the landscape is evolving every day!

This was my first Into Design Systems conference, and I'm genuinely impressed. The community is warm, welcoming, and full of sharp, talented people. The biggest value for me was getting a clear picture of where the industry is right now and how AI is reshaping it - straight from practitioners who are actually doing the work. Already looking forward to the next one.

This conference was a genuine highlight. What stood out most was how openly the speakers shared their real-world experiences, including the struggles, the long experimentations, and the hard-won lessons. The diversity of voices, all grounded in serious hands-on practice, made every session feel credible and relevant. The live examples were especially valuable, showing not just what AI can do for design systems, but also where it falls short. Highly recommend to anyone working at the intersection of AI and design.

This is hands down the best conference I've ever attended. The hosts did an excellent job at organizing all of the talks, engaging with the audience and making it clear that it was a safe and inclusive space for all. The content of the talks was wonderful and very in-depth. I'll definitely have to revisit the recordings to fully grasp every detail, and the amount of resources shared during and after the talks will definitely keep me busy for a while! It was especially fascinating to learn about Design System maturity in different orgs, and how designers are building AI-ready and agentic Design Systems. I would definitely recommend this conference to any Design Systems specialists and enthusiast, and I'd 100% join again!

The AI Conference by Into Design Systems was an incredible deep dive into what’s currently reshaping the Design Systems and Product space. The content was thoughtfully curated, with insights from top-tier industry experts. What I found most valuable was understanding how different teams are strategically applying AI today and how they’re integrating it into specific parts of their workflows and processes. Having all of this condensed into two days made it especially impactful, helping me connect ideas and structure knowledge in a much clearer way. I’d highly recommend it to both teams and individual contributors navigating the current “AI uncertainty.” Seeing real examples, experiments, and practical applications from others is easily the most valuable takeaway. Looking forward to the next one!

The 2-day AI Conference was absolutely mind-blowing! We're in a day and age where the walls are coming down between design and build. For the first time in my career, the playing field is changing faster than I can keep up. The shift is larger than it's ever been. The conference was not only inspirational, seeing the amazing things others have built, but also practical, others showed how I can start doing this too. It's literally turning how we think about design system 180 degrees around. They ARE NOW the necessary building blocks for AI tools, but in ways we've never before imagined. I highly recommend!!!

I attended Into Design Systems for the first time last year and it genuinely changed the direction of my career. Coming back this year felt like a natural next step, and they took everything to another level. What I learned was immediately practical. How to use AI to streamline design system workflows, how to add context so AI tools actually understand your system, how MCPs work and how they connect design to code in ways I hadn’t imagined. These weren’t theoretical talks; they were things I could apply the same day. The message running through every session was that the line between designer and builder is dissolving, and that’s something to embrace. Designers who understand code, who work with AI, who ship their own tools aren’t stepping outside their role. They’re expanding what the role can be. Into Design Systems made that feel not just possible but inevitable. What sets this conference apart is that it meets you where you are and then pulls you forward. It’s not about impressing you with what’s possible; it’s about showing you how to get there yourself. I left inspired, motivated, and with a much clearer sense of where I’m going. Thank you Sil and the whole Into Design Systems team for building something that genuinely moves people forward.

Into Design Systems didn’t just teach me how to build better systems, it changed how I think about design itself. It reinforced the idea that great design is not just about interfaces, but about creating shared languages that empower teams to move faster and more consistently. I left with ideas I could immediately apply and a clearer vision of where I want to grow as a designer.

This is one of the best design conferences I've attended hands down. There was so much information packed in each talk that at times I felt overwhelmed, but in a good way. My favorite aspect about the conference was that all the talks were based on practical experience. There was nothing conceptual about this, it was all based on experience in the workplace which is fantastic. I can't wait to take what I learned and apply it at work. For those who are on the fence about attending or think that they don't know enough about design systems to attend, don't worry about it. I consider design systems to not be a strength, and I still got a lot out of this.

The vibes were incredible! This hackathon pushed me into a technical deep dive where I honestly learned more in two days than I typically do in two months of fidgeting around. I walked away with hands-on experience in the latest 2026 tech and a much deeper understanding of how to effectively split and merge complex workflows within a high-speed team. Between the expert guidance and the wealth of resources, it completely redefined my perspective on what's possible in design systems.

I had a lot of fun during this Hackathon! I felt very fortunate to have meet a group of like-minded and productive people. In our group alone, we encompass 3 different timezones, and it's crazy now to think that we made it work. The Hackathon is very welcoming, with fun kickoff events in Miro and interesting speaker workshops. Sil is also an amazing host, always active in responding questions/or even help with generate some idea.

Learned a lot more about tokens and DS, about the state of the profession around the world, networked a lot, learned about plugin development, building a concept design idea from scratch and pitching. Altough 24 hours of work might seem crazy, time went by as we deep dived into a little design parenthesis in our routine, meeting amazing professionals each one with different skills and mindset, assembling to create the best solution for our idea in the provided time, learning from each other and the community. Def joining again in the next edition!

I've been studying about design system and all it entails, started with Brad Frost Atomic Design, most times I get lost in the rabbit hole due to information overload from resources out there and no clear guidance, the hackathon was a safe play for beginners to network, connect, ask questions and Learn from individuals around the world!!

I really enjoyed the experience of collaborating with other designers since I'm a solo designer at my office. I also have learned about Design System topics from other Teams that we need to focus attention on to build an easy, quick, accessible, documentation, and hand-off of the Components in Figma.

Amazing, inclusive, fun event. Haven't been part of the community on Slack before, but now I'm really looking forward to join – Honestly the design industry can be a bit uptight, elitist and disconnected from the real world (at least at larger design agencies and "cool" companies), but yesterday I got the feeling that this community you've created is a friendly place filled with regular people. I like that alot. See you there, and thank you so much!

I had a fantastic night joining the Into Design Systems Community & Conference event in Stockholm with Phil W. last week 🤩 With insights into how Spotify are evolving Encore as it is adopted across new places from Aleksander Djordjevic and Victoria Tholerus and the complexities and successes of IKEA's streamlining and redesign of the iconic SKAPA system from Caroline Dahl and Jonatan Grönkvist, it was truly an illuminating night! ✨ I was so excited to get a sneak peak demo of future Figma AI solutions from Laura Fehre alongside some very relevent points on the transient nature of trends! Laura also notably brought to the surface, the impact of AI on our environment, a topic I feel has at times, fallen away from our primary conversations. A massive thank you too, to the hosts @Sil Bormüller and @Andressa Lombardo for organising such an introvert friendly and inclusive event. Can't wait for more! 💕

This week I had the chance to attend Into Design Systems Community & Conference at Spotify’s HQ in Stockholm. Three very different but connected perspectives stood out: 🎵 Spotify (Aleksander Djordjevic and Victoria Tholerus)
How they’re making their design system machine-readable so AI tools like Cursor can suggest on-brand, accessible solutions. Super smart way to keep AI in check. 🟦 IKEA (Caroline Dahl and Jonatan Grönkvist) Walked us through their use of the ‘card’ component and how aligning over 200 teams around a flexible, accessible design faced its challenges with consistency across their digital and physical presence. 🖼️ Figma (Laura Fehre) Reminded us that while AI hype feels like the dot-com boom, the real shift might be the end of handovers as designers and engineers start working more playfully, with AI bridging the gap. The live demo on auto-generating components and testing in different languages. Game changer! 💡 Takeaways that had me thinking “hmm”: - It was refreshing (and honestly reassuring) to see that the struggles we have in our own teams aren’t unique - everyone’s figuring this out together. - AI is shifting design systems from being just for designers & engineers to being useful for anyone in the org - product managers, marketers, even prototypers with no coding background. - A recent focus of mine has been the ways that designers illustrate their iterations and rationale when handing over work to developers and engineers, so to learn Laura’s perspective on the death of ‘handover’ as we know it, but instead framing it as the start of a dialogue rather than the end of design work really challenged my perspective. Huge thanks to Sil Bormüller and the team for leaving us feeling a little less alone in the messy, exciting work of building digital experiences that actually scale.

✨ Into Design Systems event at Spotify ーwas my exciting motivation to come back from Japan💥 Since completing the Digital Management course at Hyper Island and working on several UX design projects over the past year, I’ve been deepening my understanding of design through systems thinking and the use of AI. This event was truly inspiring—it highlighted how every design carries purpose, and how design systems can become more flexible, scalable, and collaborative when co-created with AI. It was cool to see IKEA's Design System Skapa and some new possibilities on Figma AI It was also a pleasure to experience Spotify’s dynamic office space. A big thank you to Sil Bormüller for fostering such an inclusive community and hosting an amazing event! (I loved the detailed handbook!😉)

Behind every successful product, there is a versatile design system.

Behind every successful product, there is a versatile design system. 🫶 Yup! That’s what I can confidently say whenever I dive deeper into any great product. Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the Into the Design System event, held at Spotify HQ in Stockholm. Key moments: 🔑 Seeing IKEA's "Skapa" system in action. 🔑 Experiencing Spotify's "Encore" framework. 🔑 Connecting with design leaders from Spotify, IKEA, and Figma. What stood out: 👏 IKEA’s product design team showcasing their evolution from furniture to digital experiences. 👏 Spotify’s approach to scaling design across diverse platforms 👏 Figma’s Laura Fehre delivering an absolutely mind-blowing presentation. These teams aren't just building tools — they're shaping the future of how we interact with digital products. A special shoutout to Sil Bormüller for orchestrating this incredible knowledge exchange. It was a great experience when giants like IKEA and Spotify opened their doors to share their design philosophy with the design community. #DesignSystems #UXDesign #ProductDesign #DigitalTransformation #Innovation

After nearly two years of discussions and promises, we finally hosted Into Design Systems Community & Conference at the Spotify office in Stockholm on Tuesday night. 💚 🇸🇪 More than 200 members of the Design System community joined us for a wonderful and inspiring evening. 🚀 A massive thank you to Audrey O'Clair and Serah Njambi Kiburu for taking over the organisation of the event and making sure it still went ahead even after I’d left the company. 🙏 Thank you to the speakers Caroline Dahl, Jonatan Grönkvist, Laura Fehre and especially to Aleksander Djordjevic and Victoria Tholerus from Spotify. It was so nice to sit in the front row and see someone else talk about Spotify’s work with Design Systems. 💚 Thank you to Sil Bormüller, Andressa Lombardo, Marco-Christian Krenn and Tiago Almeida for trusting me and the team at Spotify to host your wonderful community. And thank you to everyone who attended; it was a lovely event. 🙏

Two days out of the comfort zone...

Two days out of the comfort zone...  Yesterday’s Into Design Systems Community & Conference, hosted by Spotify, was so inspiring! 250+ people in the audience, super interesting talks, and a great vibe 🤩 Me and Caroline Dahl got to share a bit about our team and how we work with the IKEA digital design system, Skapa – and what it’s really like to design complex, accessible components in a huge organization with tons of different users, needs, and requests. It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day, but stepping back and seeing the scale of what we’re building – and how many people are interested in design systems – gives me so much hope for the future of design. 👊 Big shoutout to Sil Bormüller, Shaun Bent, Andressa Lombardo, Audrey O'Clair, Into Design Systems Community & Conference, and Spotify for having us! And to everyone who came, cheered us on, and sent kind messages afterwards – thank you! 💛 💙 Hope we get to share more soon! Ps. The photo is actually from another Skapa presentation we did today at an IKEA UX workshop. And tomorrow… it’s time for our monthly demo 😅 Kind of looking forward to the weekend now 🫠

✨ Hej mom, look: I’m in the Spotify HQ!

✨ Hej mom, look: I’m in the Spotify HQ! For the Into Design Systems Community & Conference in Stockholm 🇸🇪 Last year, I did a Spotify case study, back when I took a Memorisely design system course. Being here for IDS felt extra special because of that, and a reminder of how far I’ve come thanks to design communities. Here are a few moments that really stood out to me: • Spotify → what caught my attention was their thinking around AI. Victoria Tholerus and Aleksander Djordjevic shared how the DS team included AI in their workflow, enabling humans and machines to co-create design systems together. • IKEA → Caroline Dahl and Jonatan Grönkvist shared Skapa 💕 IKEA's design system. Their card component redesign looked simple but turned out to be a real challenge. I loved how they developed their own accessibility approach for it! • Figma → Laura Fehre's talk was fast, sharp, and inspiring. What stayed with me was her framing of working with AI as an open dialogue. She encouraged us to use it responsibly (even with the environment in mind), while staying curious and doing the work ourselves. She also shared some exciting updates that are coming soon! • Pitch to Friends → even as an extrovert, I was nervous to stand up and share my story. But talking about moving to Barcelona to grow my network, explore new opportunities, and connect with inspiring communities led me to meet so many amazing people 😊 Now I’m heading back to Barcelona inspired, full of ideas, and with a lot more friends than before 🫶 Looking forward to IDS in Barcelona soon 😉 Sil Bormüller, Andressa Lombardo!

Yesterday I had the chance to attend an event I’d been looking forward to for months: the Into Design Systems Conference at Spotify’s offices in Stockholm. A big thank you to the Into Design Systems Community & Conference and the speakers, true leaders in the field. It was inspiring to hear from colleagues who are a real source of motivation, sharing how they work and how they overcome the challenges that arise along the way. Some highlights from the event: • How Spotify integrates AI throughout their Design Systems Encore workflow • How IKEA tackles and documents components in an agile and efficient way, (btw they have a massive DS called Skapa ❤️) • The impressive work Figma is doing with the beta of Figma Make (can’t wait for that release!) I’m very grateful to everyone who makes this community possible specially Sil Bormüller and @andressalombardo, I’m already looking forward to the next conference. #DesignSystem #UXDesign #ProductDesign #Figma #Ikea #Spotify #IntoDesignSystem
