Building a Design System 🛠️ Our members participated in the Hands-on with Design Systems workshop by Varya Stepanova and Sherif Saleh. It was about building design systems with Figma and React and gaining in-depth hands-on experience. It was especially exciting to see how other companies build their design systems and to exchange experiences.
A few years ago, I attended a workshop called Hands-on Design Systems with Varya Stepanova. It was a true turning point in my career — it sparked my journey into Design Systems and gave me a solid grasp of Design Tokens. If you're working on (or curious about) Design Systems, this is definitely worth your time!
Varya possesses a unique blend of technical skills and creative vision, which allows her to translate complex design concepts into practical, scalable solutions. Her work on the Yara Design System has significantly enhanced the overall quality and streamlined the developer experience. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any organization seeking strong engineering and design system leadership.
During the time I worked with Alexandra, her talent in front-end development really stood out. What really caught my attention was her eye for detail and how she handled every task with care, ensuring nothing was missed. Alexandra's ability to communicate complex ideas in simple terms made team discussions smoother and more productive.
I had the pleasure of supervising Varya's work on a design system project over many months and I am impressed with her thought leadership and extensive knowledge of the design system space. She skillfully supported a team of engineers and designers and steered them to the successful delivery of a design system that was integrated into hundreds of products within an organization.
Sherif was a true professional in his business. Great skills in web design and UX. CSS has no secrets for him also. We worked together on web projects to large sizes.
Varya is an expert in Design System domain. I have had chance to work with her in past and I found her very intellectual and hardworking individual. She has sounds technical background and deep understanding of web applications development. She leans into solving a problem not just defining it well. I would gladly recommend Varya to anyone who is looking for a Design System expert.
Sherif is a proactive and tireless contributor who would make a great addition to any team. He completed his assignments on time and never failed to add a creative touch when appropriate.
