Overreliance on design systems and interaction patterns can lead to homogenization of design solutions. For instance, many third-party companies undertake commissions to develop a system or visualize data, but they merely use pre-existing templates for the design. This results in designs that are identical to those templates without\u2026 <a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.interactiondesignhistory.com\/Spring2024\/freedom-in-interaction-design\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">: Freedom in interaction design<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.interactiondesignhistory.com\/Spring2024\/empowering-creativity-the-kinship-between-design-systems-and-user-experience-design\/\">Empowering Creativity: The Kinship Between Design Systems and User Experience Design<\/a><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-author\">by Hannah He<\/div><time datetime=\"2024-04-03T01:24:12+00:00\" class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-date\">April 3, 2024<\/time><div class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-excerpt\">I believe design systems and interaction design patterns do not stifle creativity in interaction design.
