Have questions for Maura Ferrarini, Harvard University? Post them here!

Wow. This is so overwhelming and cool and wow. That whole atomic design is wild.

Are there links to more info?

Is the online tool that houses your design system freely available?

Ruth

I would like to know more about Pattern Lab.

@Cybrarian Atomic design IS wild. And really great. Brad Frost wrote an eBook called "Atomic Design" which is a great place to start :)

@claytonc and @Ruth: PatternLab is freely available at https://patternlab.io/! This is the only one that I can speak to personally, but there are other pattern library tools out there as well.

I've also done another version of this presentation that goes more in-depth into PatternLab as a tool if you'd like a better tour of it's functionality and how we use it at Harvard Library: https://bit.ly/386PHnf (first half is more about atomic design and components of our design system, 14:22 - 25:00 if interested in just the demo part of the tool)

Thanks very much, Maura. Enjoyed your presentation.
