Design tokens aren’t just a bridge between design and code, they are THE BRIDGE.

Design tokens aren't just about consistency; they're about efficiency too!

To be honest, I was a smidge skeptical. I know what a design token is

If you’ve ever tried to implement a design system at a large company, you probably already know this

Design systems are everywhere.

Looking forward to the day I stop writing about design tokens to be honest.

I’ve always believed the collaboration between Design Systems and Development is where the real magic happens.

design systems live at the intersection

design systems are about human relationships

A design system isn’t a β€œset it and forget it” kind of thing.

By now, you’ve probably heard the term β€˜design tokens’ thousands of times.

I never set out to be a β€œdesign system” person.

If your Design System doesn’t use Design Tokens, you’re making life harder for developers.

As the gap between design and development shrinks, code-driven systems will become standard
