Inspect & Reflect: JPMorgan's Salt Design System

Note: This session is a learning opportunity, not a critique of JPMorgan’s work. We fully recognize the complexity and regulatory constraints involved in applying design systems in highly secure, multi-team enterprise environments. To foster an open and unbiased learning space, we’re intentionally not inviting members of the Salt Design System team. This session is designed to be exploratory, appreciative, and focused on learning—not on evaluation.

Workshop Objectives

1. Expert-Led Inventory Process: Learn systematic methods for exploring, documenting, and evaluating design system components in enterprise settings
2. Hands-On Experience: Analyze component families and assess adoption patterns across JPMorgan’s interfaces in real time
3. Collaborative Learning: Participate in live voting, Q&A, and structured discussions to share insights with peers
4. Practical Takeaways: Discover scalable strategies for improving consistency, usability, and cross-team alignment
5. Community Resource: Contribute to findings that will be compiled into a shared resource for the broader enterprise design systems community

Who Should Attend

1. Enterprise Design System Practitioners focused on scale, compliance, and governance
2. Product Designers and PMs supporting complex B2B and internal tooling
3. Front-End Engineers implementing shared component libraries
4. Design, Product, and Engineering Leaders driving system maturity across teams

Workshop Format

1. Guided Component Exploration: Analyze specific component families within the Salt Design System as seen across Chase experiences
2. Real-Time Inventory with Infa.ai: Use the Infa.ai extension to document components, usage patterns, and alignment with system intent
3. Interactive Discussion: Share insights, ask questions, and vote on adoption trends in a structured, supportive environment

What You'll Learn

1. How to assess enterprise design system adoption through external observation
2. Techniques for identifying consistency gaps, variations, and system drift
3. Strategies for cross-functional alignment and documentation
4. Approaches to scaling usability and reusability in regulated environments
