Learn how to build components for UI design with this practical and insightful guide by Henry Daggett. In this video, we discuss why starting with the product is crucial before developing components or design systems. Building UI components for your design should always stem from real use cases within your product, ensuring relevance and simplicity. We break down the process with a component inventory, identifying elements like event cards, buttons, chips, and badges, while exploring their roles in crafting a cohesive user interface.
Henry explains how UI components for your design can exist on the same level, referencing the Atomic Design model but with a flattened hierarchy. He also shares tips on naming components effectively, making them clear and intuitive for your team. Whether it’s basic elements like a button or complex ones like a card with nested components, prioritizing what to build based on business value, frequency of use, and the need for updates is key to creating a sustainable design system. This video offers a practical explanation of the components of UI design, including how to inventory and prioritize them. Learn why understanding the needs of both your end users and your design system users is essential. Henry also highlights Dan M’s guideline for adding components to design systems—when three or more teams or products need them—a valuable tip for larger projects or company setups.
Whether you're exploring UI design systems or refining your approach to component inventory in your design, this video provides actionable advice for designers of all levels. Perfect for those diving into the Interaction Design Foundation (IxDF) materials or expanding their understanding of interaction design.
