Welcome, Design Systems Pros!

I hope you enjoyed our time together during Clarity Conference 2021. I know I learned a ton from you in the Q&A and hopefully you are feeling inspired to give Object-Oriented UX a try. It can give your design system a solid foundation, an anchoring conceptual model, and a set of rules to guide the use of your design system.

If you are interested in enrolling in the OOUX Masterclass, please make sure and use the discount code CLARITY2021 for $150 dollars off (expires 10/31/21)! And remember, if you decide to get certified in OOUX, you'll only pay an extra $600 bucks to enroll in a certification cohort (next one starts Jan/Feb of 2022!).
