Design system: from discovery, tokens & accessibility to production

In this PixelPerfect show & tell, Matteo Reggi will walk through the real process of designing an enterprise design system used across multiple product areas including ecommerce, booking platforms, internal tools, and customer service systems.

You’ll see how one complex design system was structured from the ground up, including real examples of tokens, component architecture, accessibility considerations, and documentation practices used in production environments.

🧩 Designing Enterprise Design Systems (beyond marketing sites)

Learn how large organisations build design systems that support multiple products, platforms, and internal tools. Matteo will walk through the real complexity behind designing systems used across ecommerce, booking flows, internal tools, and customer support platforms.

🔎 Running a Design System Discovery Phase

Understand how to start a design system project properly: stakeholder interviews, system audits, and analysing how teams currently use components

🏗️ Creating a Scalable Token & Taxonomy Structure

Learn how to structure design tokens and naming systems that scale across teams and products, turning a messy UI ecosystem into a maintainable design foundation.

🎨 Problem Most Designers Ignore

Discover a lesser-known design system concept: colour context. Matteo will explain why buttons and UI elements behave differently depending on background context (images, dark mode, overlays) and how this affects system design decisions across products.

♿ Embedding Accessibility Directly Into Components

Learn how accessibility is implemented inside a design system, not added later. We’ll cover colour contrast, focus states, accessible names, ARIA labels, and screen-reader considerations that need to exist at the component level.

🤖 Where AI Actually Fits in Design System Work

Understand where AI helps and where it doesn’t. Matteo will share how AI was used for validation and documentation support.
