Join us for a LIVE co-creation session exploring Dropbox’s Design System through real-world examples on dropbox.com and insights from their public brand guidelines. This collaborative workshop offers a unique opportunity to see how Dropbox expresses brand and consistency across digital experiences, identify design system patterns, and discuss strategies for improving usability and component adoption.

Note: This session is a learning opportunity, not a critique of Dropbox’s work. We recognize the complexity of implementing a design system across user experiences that span cloud storage, productivity, and collaboration tools. To encourage open learning, we’re intentionally not inviting members of the Dropbox design system or brand teams. This helps create a safe and constructive environment for exploration and peer learning.
