The DigitalOcean team has introduced Walrus, a reimagined design system with accessibility and mobile-readiness at its core. This new design system aims to reflect the company's values of simplicity, trust, respect, and love. Guiding principles were established to guide the design of individual components and foundations in the new system. Accessibility for all is critical, with a focus on color contrast and usage, as well as defining aria roles and screen reader behavior. The design process now includes peer review, where designers review each other's work against a set of criteria before it is implemented by the frontend engineering team. Walrus components are mobile-first, enabling users to build experiences from any device. The design system will be gradually rolled out in the coming months, with plans to eventually open source it.
