wholistics @wholistics.bsky.social · 21/07/2025Nice to see such shifts. When designers get closer to the medium their work lives in, the whole process gets clearer for everyone involved. Training and support are key to making this real. Kudos @frankieroberto.com and team. 020

wholistics @wholistics.bsky.social · 28/11/2024Foucault sees power as a decentralised, dynamic process embedded in social relationships. I see it as crucial for the well-being of nodes in a system to avoid consolidating power, as it disrupts both the circulation within the network and the internal flow of the node itself, harming both sides. 020
wholistics @wholistics.bsky.social · 27/11/2024An interesting paper exploring the architecture of Open Banking, Open Finance, and Open Data.

wholistics @wholistics.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Shifting from standard to probabilistic distributions will bring more uncertainty and chaos to users. This will be a challenge as systemic-algo models become more vague, potentially perpetuating systemic discrimination and blind spots. UCD practice should remain at the core. 010

wholistics @wholistics.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Every user interaction is processed by their nervous system, activating a sympathetic or parasympathetic response. For me, inclusive design practice means be open, humble, empathy and continuously aware of own blind spots. Context and lived experience are key to design mindful, adaptive interfaces. 030

wholistics @wholistics.bsky.social · 11/11/2024A thought-provoking review of a brilliant book.

wholistics @wholistics.bsky.social · 08/11/2024Alt: A site showcasing design system patterns and components from some UK government departments.

wholistics @wholistics.bsky.social · 06/11/20245/ Every pattern and component tells a story. I’d love to see these stories shared within the DS, linking back to their origins and the thinking behind them. For eg., Exit this Page design-system.service.gov.uk/components/e... and the blog here designnotes.blog.gov.uk/2023/08/14/e...designnotes.blog.gov.ukExit this page fast with the Design System’s new componentHow the GOV.UK Design System team investigated ways to support government service users, balancing functionality with the user need for privacy and discretion. 000
wholistics @wholistics.bsky.social · 06/11/20244/ Most of DS has been heavily web-focused. I’d love to see more focus on emerging interfaces (e.g apps, chatbots) 110
wholistics @wholistics.bsky.social · 06/11/20243/ I wish there's a way to track the usage of components and patterns across services to gain insight into the impact and relevance of specific elements and to guide future improvements. 100
wholistics @wholistics.bsky.social · 06/11/20242/ reflecting on the evolution of DS, I wonder if a "starter kit" or boilerplate could help departments and local gov get started without needing to begin from scratch. Perhaps with provisions for layout, accessibility, responsiveness, and metadata standards to empower teams with low dependency. 100
wholistics @wholistics.bsky.social · 06/11/20241/ noticed components with the same functionality but different naming conventions (e.g. language toggle). Does this highlight a need for better interoperability, cross-gov consistency, perhaps standardised tags/metadata for reusability and findability? #DesignSystems 100
wholistics @wholistics.bsky.social · 06/11/2024.. following on from this thread on some emergent themes, here are a few reflections, wishes, and 'I wonders' 🧵 ⏬ 110
wholistics @wholistics.bsky.social · 06/11/20246/ Most design system components link to sub-pages, while a few link directly to GitHub, using the main site as a 'front door.' I thought this was a clever, low-code approach, especially as things are still evolving. 000
