Is Atomic Design relevant in 2022?
Brad Frost’s Atomic Design changed the way we think about building front-ends. It allowed us to break free of monolith applications and build UIs in isolation. This was a radical idea before libraries like React and Vue put components front and center.
Today, we’re kicking off a new interview series that explores modern front-end engineering, and Brad Frost is our first guest!
We talk about the past seven years of Atomic Design and how the front-end space transformed during that time. Brad also gets into the craft of building sturdy UIs and shares his vision for a future where all UI “atoms” are built into the web platform.

“Testing has — historically — been very rough for us… but I like making stories. Stories work so well with the grain of our work. And you get this iceberg of cool stuff [documentation, testing, and UI playgrounds] that fall out the other end. I love that direction. I want the software to take care of this stuff for me!” — Brad Frost
