Join us for a LIVE co-creation session exploring Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) through real-world examples from Apple.com and web-based Apple experiences. This collaborative workshop offers a unique opportunity to understand how Apple’s design principles are translated into practice, identify patterns and opportunities, and discuss strategies for optimizing consistency, accessibility, and adoption across digital products.

About the Event

Note: This session is a learning opportunity, not a critique of Apple’s work. We deeply respect the legacy and rigor of Apple’s design systems. To preserve an unbiased, open learning environment, we’re intentionally not inviting members of the Apple design or HIG team. The goal is to learn by observing—not to judge or reverse-engineer implementation decisions.

Workshop Objectives

1. Expert-Led Inventory Process: Learn structured methods for exploring and documenting components based on HIG principles

2. Hands-On Experience: Analyze how component patterns and visual language appear across Apple.com and related experiences

3. Collaborative Learning: Participate in live voting, Q&A, and peer discussions to deepen your understanding of Apple-style UI

4. Practical Takeaways: Discover how timeless design principles like clarity, depth, and deference can inform your own systems

5. Community Resource: Contribute to a shared repository of insights for future reflection and system evolution
