Design systems
Design Systems Anatomy Lab
Map tokens, slots, and documentation rituals so designers and engineers share one vocabulary.
Duration: 6 weeks · hybrid critique blocks
Format: Cohort + paired labs
Price (informational): KRW 1,890,000
Overview
This studio block treats a design system like an organism: naming layers, slot contracts, and release cadences. You pair with another participant to reverse-engineer public libraries, then rebuild a slice with critique checkpoints every week.
Included focus
- Token naming labs with live linting exercises
- Slot API sketches for compound components
- Documentation templates tuned for handoff
- Versioning playbooks for breaking changes
- Critique rubrics focused on reuse, not taste
- Office hours with a design system lead
- Async Loom reviews when schedules drift
Outcomes
- Publish a token sheet your team can adopt
- Draft a component contract engineers can implement
- Run a critique using the studio rubric

FAQ
Comfort with HTML/CSS and a willingness to read JSX is enough. We do not cover advanced state patterns.
We do not host a cloud component registry or pay for third-party design tool seats—bring your own licenses.
We match complementary skill gaps after an intake survey; swaps are allowed once mid-program.
Participant notes
“The Anatomy Lab forced me to write token rationale beside each swatch—something I skipped before. Pair critiques on slot APIs were dense but fair.”
“Week four critique on naming layers still shows up in our guild channel. Wish we had one more async video on release notes.”
