NYS Design System Update

It’s been a minute since I’ve talked publicly about this work.

It’s been a minute since I’ve talked publicly about the design system work we’ve been doing at New York State…

Over the last few months, our small (but mighty!) team has been building a connected system of tools and resources to help people that build New York State government applications and sites do it in a way that is consistent, mobile-friendly, and accessible for everyone.

I couldn’t be prouder of Eric Steinborn, Doug Bartow, Robert Chen, Emily Gorelik, Leo Vogel, and Kristin Sorrentino for jumping right in and doing incredible work. A big thank you to Luke Charde for the advocacy and support that made this team a reality. And of course, it wouldn’t be possible without all of the other internal partners who have been collaborating, supporting, and providing invaluable feedback.

It’s still early, so we’re focused on internal adoption and integration and not sharing much publicly. But we’re building with a long view in mind and have some exciting things to share. Stay tuned, more to come soon.

Also… we just got featured on the ITS podcast!
