Curious about the design process behind the Drupal Admin UI redesign initiative? Join us as we walk you through the research, design and collaboration process while sharing concepts that didn't quite make the cut.

Prerequisite
Experience working in or with Drupal but not a requirement for this session.

Outline
What started as an initiative to redesign Drupal's admin UI became a broader exploration of redefining the user experience. Hear the story behind our journey—the challenges we faced and the problems we aimed to solve. In this session we'll discuss:
• How research has helped shape the design
• How the team reconfigured the layout for a user-centered design
• What new design elements are being introduced
• How the team is developing a flexible, scalable, and cohesive design system
We'll share our design and research journey, discuss where we are now, and review the initiative's next steps

Learning Objectives
At the end of this session, attendees will be able to:

Understand the different research methods and results that were used to inform the Admin UI design.

Identify challenges with designing for scalability and flexibility when working with complex menu structures.

Apply different approaches around collaborating with a rotating team of contributors.
