Moderated by Alexander Diner, Webflow’s Director of Brand & Web Design, this session goes beyond theory to unpack how experienced builders structure, manage, and evolve their systems in real client work. From component strategy to system governance, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at the decisions that make systems scalable. 

This conversation is designed to close the gap between ideal frameworks and real-world execution. You’ll hear directly from agency leaders who’ve built and maintained component-based design systems at scale, and how they adapt their approach across different clients, teams, and workflows.

You’ll learn:

  • What makes component-first builds effective in real-world projects

  • How to structure components and design systems for reuse and scale
    Common pitfalls that break systems as they grow and how to avoid them

  • How to adapt your approach across clients, teams, and tools
