I got my first taste of Atomic Design while studying at an online design bootcamp called DesignLabs - the program that ultimately led me down the path of design as a full time career. Now, as a working product designer at Perpetua, this concept has become a fundamental part of how I approach daily work.

Atomic Design, introduced by Brad Frost in 2013, is a straightforward way to build scalable and responsive design systems. It's all about breaking down digital products into simple components, like LEGO pieces, to make building and improving products a breeze.

While I was studying at DesignLabs, I started a side project involving Netflix's mobile app. I used Atomic Design to create a UI Kit in Figma, which laid a strong foundation for the new feature I'm working on. This approach helps me work faster, tweak designs effortlessly, and share my work with fellow designers in the community who have similar aspirations.
