Welcome to Design Systems Community Chapter (DSCC) New Zealand

Design Systems Community helps bring people together to share ways of working, successes, and other learnings to encourage best practices in building, scaling and maintaining design systems. No matter how you engage with design systems, we all play a role in making information accessible for everyone, and without barriers.

Our Values

• Accessibility; always evangelizing accessibility opportunities in experience development
• Diversity & Inclusivity; setting examples, providing opportunities, and protecting marginalized groups by upholding strong conduct
• Community and sharing; share examples, learnings, tools, and techniques with the community, and avoid biases
• Customers focus; remembering the people we're building for, and working towards simple and respectful access to information
• Collaborative working; prioritize teamwork, be relatable to teams of all sizes, and appeal to multiple levels of experience
• Bridging content, design and code; encourage open and continuous dialogue between all disciplines as we build experiences
• Fun; most importantly we want all our members to have fun!

Who should join?

Designers, Developers, Product Managers, Content Practitioners, Analysts, and all Enthusiasts.

Where?

Our meetups will be hosted in Auckland, Wellington or online.

Founded in Australia in 2004, by long time web industry figures John Allsopp and Maxine Sherrin, (and now run by John), Web Directions conferences bring together the web industry’s leading experts from around the world to educate and inspire our attendees.

In response to COVID-19 we’ve moved our focus online, and in 2021 will host 6 focussed, in-depth conferences for front end and full stack developers.

When safe and feasible we look forward to once again hosting our annual Summit, covering all things web and digital-engineering, design, product, culture and leadership.
