Session
From Codebase to Community: The Renovation Story of a Legacy Design System
What happens when a design system releases frequent breaking changes, doesn't document itself and builds in isolation? It breaks trust and builds "it's faster to do it myself" attitudes.
In this episode of The Block, we review the design system of Finland’s national postal service, Posti, as we modernize not just the system’s technical foundation but its community. We’ll explore how shifting our focus from code to people, through transparent processes, community-driven releases, and robust documentation, turned a neglected legacy system into a trusted, long-term platform.
Attendees will leave with practical lessons on rebuilding a design system’s reputation, re-engaging stakeholders, and balancing technical updates with human-centered change.
