Wayfair, the ubiquitous online retailer, is more than just wayfair.com: the company owns Perigold, Joss & Main, and Birch Lane. Neva, Rogin, and Chris discuss how Wayfair united three disparate design systems into one; the gradual process of building a holistic design system team; achieving cross-functional design system adoption, and the merits of overthinking.

Guests: Neva Corbo-Hudak is the Product Design Lead at Wayfair. She’s a multidisciplinary designer passionate about crafting user-centered experiences. She is invigorated by the challenge of making complex information understandable, and particularly excited by multifaceted design projects that require a high level of problem solving.
