Why Content Should Be Part of Your Design System

Join us for an interesting discussion with Christine Clifton-Thornton, about the role of content in a design system. Clifton-Thornton leads the global design system team at automated tax compliance software provider, Avalara, and has more than 10 years’ experience in business management and in the design, development, and production of interactive content. On this episode of The Content Advantage, we'll talk to Clifton-Thornton about how the Skylab design system helps Avalara minimize redundant problem solving and provides consistency, helping to build trust with the people who use the company's products and services.
