This was so inspiring. As someone who participated in Joey's online Figma course and learned a lot from him about figma , it was great to hear more about behind the scenes of structuring and maintaining large scale Design Systems. I also appreciated his emphasis on building strong relationships with teammates. Kudos to the Dive team for the interview!
