Regular price£450 Sale price

Design systems - a one-day masterclass in structure, scale and style

Ever wonder how the pros make interfaces feel seamless? It’s not magic - it’s systems thinking, baked into the pixels. This one day, in-person workshop will show you how to build, maintain and evolve a design system that works.

Join us in London. Learn the logic behind scalable design. Leave with a system you built yourself - and the skills to keep it sharp.

What you’ll get:

  • A full day of focused, in-person training in Central London
  • Real-life design system practice - not just screenshots and slides
  • A polished system you’ll create from scratch (and know how to grow)
  • Tools and workflows to make your work more consistent, more collaborative, and less chaotic
  • The confidence to bring structure to any design mess

Bonus swag:

  • A cheeky Redacted Goods treat (could be a tote, could be better)

Taught by Clementine, founder of f◼️gmania and designer of things bold, unexpected and useful.

You’ll need: a laptop, a working knowledge of Figma, and an urge to get your design life together.

finally, an f-word that brings order to chaos

From the field, not just the front of the room

The day at a glance

In one focused day, you’ll build a working design system from scratch - learning the logic behind structure, scale and reuse in Figma.

You’ll follow a guided sequence of foundations, components and naming patterns, with a reference system to lean on when you need it - and plenty of space to make it your own.

Morning: Systems from scratch
Start strong by learning how to set up a clean, scalable foundation.

We’ll cover:

  • Defining text and colour styles that actually get reused
  • Spacing, radius and elevation - your layout rules, sorted
  • Naming and setting up components with clarity (not chaos)
  • Structuring your Figma files so your future self says TF

You’ll work through guided examples and build your own mini system from the ground up - no templates, no guesswork.

Afternoon: Scaling, naming, maintaining
We go deeper into how to scale and govern your system without losing your mind.

We’ll cover:

  • Variables: what they are, how to use them, and when they’re worth it
  • Design tokens: structure, naming and strategy
  • Component scaling: when to nest, when to split, and how to name without crying
  • Governance & hygiene: keeping your system clean, consistent and team-friendly

You’ll leave with a working system file, a practical naming strategy, and a sharper sense of what “good” looks like at scale.

Support that doesn’t stop at the door

Just because the workshop ends doesn’t mean the learning does. Here’s how we’ve got your back after the course wraps:

Testimonials

"Clementine's teaching dramatically exceeded any expectations I had had prior to the course beginning! Her passion for the field is palpable - she led the course with a great sense of humour, and was more than happy to tailor the delivery of different topics based on the interests of those of us in the class. Cannot recommend Clementine as a course lecturer highly enough!"
