Brad Frost, Ian Frost and TJ Pitre show how structuring design system context correctly gives AI tools the information they need to generate accurate, on-brand, production-ready UI, and how without that context, AI outputs drift and hallucinate. --- ### I'm not an engineer but I ship code: How designers can ship production code and work like an engineer **Speaker:** - Freya Stockman, Product Designer, Relevance AI Freya Stockman shares her hands-on experience as a product designer who ships real production code using AI tools. This session is for designers who have never thought of themselves as coders but want to understand how the gap between design and engineering is closing, and how to take advantage of that shift now. --- ### WhatsApp Web: Reclaiming UI Excellence through Vibe Coding **Speaker:** - Sebastian Rousseau, Senior Product Designer Design Systems, WhatsApp Sebastian Rousseau from WhatsApp's design systems team demonstrates how vibe coding techniques can be used to achieve and maintain UI excellence at scale. Using WhatsApp Web as a case study, this session shows what it looks like when a senior design systems practitioner embraces AI-assisted coding as a core part of their workflow. --- ### How to build with AI as a designer: Explained by designers - for complete beginners **Speakers:** - Sil Bormüller, Designer, Vibe Coder, Founder, Into Design Systems - Romina Kavcic, Design System Lead, The Design System Guide A practical beginner's guide to building with AI as a designer. Sil Bormüller and Romina Kavcic walk through the concepts, tools and mental models that help designers get started with AI-assisted development, with no prior coding experience required. Ideal for anyone who has been curious about vibe coding but doesn't know where to begin. --- ### Agentic Design Systems **Speaker:** - Romina Kavcic, Design System Lead, The Design System Guide This session looks at the emerging concept of agentic design systems: design systems built not just for human developers, but for AI agents that will read, interpret and implement them. Romina Kavcic explores what this shift means for how design systems are structured, documented and maintained. --- ### Vibe coding with zero drift - from Figma to Storybook to Production **Speaker:** - Shuaiqi (Mr.Biscuit) Sun, Design System Architect, Independent Shuaiqi Sun presents a complete pipeline for vibe coding that maintains design fidelity from Figma through Storybook to deployed production code. This session addresses one of the biggest practical challenges in AI-assisted design-to-code workflows: keeping the output visually accurate and consistent with the original design at every stage. --- ### Machine-Readable Design Systems for MCP and LLMs **Speaker:** - Diana Wolosin, Sr. Design System Designer, Indeed Diana Wolosin from Indeed's design team explores how design systems need to be structured and documented to be understood by large language models and MCP-connected tools. This session covers the practical work of making a design system machine-readable and why it matters for every team using AI in their design-to-code workflow. --- ### Context > Probability: Design systems as AI infrastructure **Speaker:** - Jesse Gardner, Director, User Research, New York State Jesse Gardner reframes design systems not as a design tool or a developer tool, but as AI infrastructure. This session argues that in a world where AI generates UI, the design system is the layer that determines whether that output is trustworthy, consistent and governed. Context wins over probability. --- ### Encoding governance on agentic design systems **Speaker:** - Cristian Morales Achiardi, Design Engineer, Enara Health This session tackles one of the hardest problems in agentic design systems: how do you ensure that autonomous AI agents follow your governance rules? Cristian Morales Achiardi presents approaches to encoding governance directly into design system structure and documentation so that agentic tools can't easily violate it. --- ### Designers Who Ship: Building a Real Plugin in 48 Hours with AI **Speakers:** - Casandra Sandu, Design System Specialist, Trackunit - Christoph Hellmuth, Lead Product Designer - Design Systems, NordVPN - Raquel Pereira, Lead UX Designer - Design System, Nokia Three design system practitioners from three different companies share their experience building a real, functional Figma plugin in 48 hours using AI tools.
