About the Event

Note: This session is a learning opportunity, not a critique of Wise’s work. We recognize the depth of complexity in applying design systems across financial platforms and international contexts. To maintain a safe, open, and unbiased learning space, we’re intentionally not inviting members of the Wise Design System team. This allows us to explore and reflect without pressure—our goal is insight, not evaluation.
