Design Systems Hour Nº 4 :: Gjensidige

Design Systems Hour Nº 5 :: FINN

Fabric: the cloth that binds us all together, the foundation of everything we build upon, or maybe it's just a catchy name that fits nicely alongside FINN? You decide.

For FINN, Fabric is an effort to fine-tune their design system, a spring cleaning of sorts, with the main areas of focus being:

Improving the quality of visual design in FINN

Creating clearer, more structured design guidelines and documentation

Controlling what should and shouldn't be added to the design system

Creating a more collaborative environment for designers and developers

You can explore Fabric on your own at fabric-ds.io.

As the visual design team lead in FINN's UX department, Adi provides creative direction for the designers, and works together with the platform web team on Fabric, FINN's design system.

He spends most of his time fine-tuning FINN's UI design and shared design libraries, mentoring designers, and working with the rest of the UX leader group to create a fun and engaging environment for designers in FINN.

Adrian "Adi" Dick 

Richard is a frontend developer for Finn.no on the platform web team where he helps other teams, across the company, to build and compose together performant, consistent user interfaces.

In his day to day, he works a lot on Finn's frontend open-source projects, 

.

In this talk Adi and Richard reflect on their design systems journey so far, the challenges they have encountered and how they have tackled them.

Design Systems at Oda

Beyond Reinvention: where we’re going, we don’t need wheels

"We’re in a position to build something from the ground up, and we’re doing it the Oda way: we question everything, we build what 

 need, we make it meaningful. We’re working laterally, aiming to foster a sense of community, dismantle silos, and build a system our people want to use—

 to use, actually. Even though Oda is going international, we’ll never lose our Norwegian roots; our team wants to invoke the spirit of dugnad as we build our design system."

Martin is a design system nerd who has been working with design systems for several years. He started his design journey in-house at Gjensidige; he then tried out consultant life before joining Oda earlier this year. Martin believes that design systems are more than just components and guidelines, they’re just as much about people. His mission is to build relationships, not just components.

Martin Gaard

Zoë has been writing for tech companies in Norway for more than a decade, from tech documentation to marketing and advertising copy, to product strings, app store copy and everything in between. She is an advocate of narrative design in digital products and is passionate about voice. The founder and chair of the Oslo Writers League, she is also the pen behind the puns in Oda’s release notes.

Zoë Harris

Øyvind has worked as a front-end developer since the early days of internet in Norway. He started his career in Telenor and was also a consultant for over ten years before he joined Oda. Øyvind is passionate about good design and about creating a good front-end experience for customers, designers and fellow developers.
