Learn about my journey and how I run the full technical infrastructure that powers one of the largest global Design Systems conferences worldwide
Marco-Christian Krenn
Design Systems Architect & Wizard
he / him
I'm a Design System Architect and the "Wizard of Design Systems."
I specialize in the deep, complex logic that powers modern design. While others focus on the surface, I focus on the algorithm. I love taking unconventional approaches to architecture, turning static libraries into intelligent, self-organizing ecosystems.
At Into Design Systems, I am the backbone of the platform. I run the full technical infrastructure behind the scenes, ensuring that our community, events, and content are delivered seamlessly.
My passion lies in automation and algorithmic design—bridging the gap between creative intuition and machine precision. I build the magic so others can build the product.
When I'm not casting code spells or refactoring the entire IDS tech stack, I'm usually nerding out in our basement fablab with my son.
Winner Design System Awards 2025
Recognized for community impact and event excellence
Our work is the winner of the Design System Awards 2025 by zeroheight.
"Unlike theory-heavy events, Into Design Systems emphasizes practical, real-world application. Its inclusive, community-driven format follows an "each one teach one" approach, ensuring every voice is heard. Participants gain tangible tools such as templates, workflows, and plugins, while fostering lasting collaboration and professional growth across the global design systems community."
"This conference gave me direct insights into design tokens and workflows that immediately advanced my team's work. Two years later, I was able to give talks myself and share knowledge back with the community. I wouldn't be where I am today without this event and its inclusive network."
