Hey Designers 👋 Overwhelmed by all the new things that were just released? It's ok. Me too. And I didn't even watch all the talks yet.

I created a utility component that allows you to quickly map out design decisions.
Ideally, you create your primitive ramps, then duplicate when a decision is made and tweak with a new name.

You could wrap your label in an auto layout with 4px padding, and use 8px padding on the button itself.
Should always add up with/without the icon.

DS peeps 👀 Who has their documentation living in Figma, but a separate file away from their components?
I'm playing with the idea of docs as components where instances can be pulled next to components or linked.

Are you trying to create "nice" documentation for your

? Do you have a lot of token sets?
Hot tip 🔥 Create an "other" token for the set name and set the value to = your set name. Then use

to populate.

Sprint 1 of building a Design Token driven, multi-brand design system. What have I learned so far this week?🤔
Big design systems have too many options. I inspected each component in the M3 and iOS 16 UI kits and found 15 different (but similar-looking) corner radius values.

Y'all think naming frames is controversial... Just wait until to cross into token naming. 😶🌫️ Once your token is built and in code, you can not change it.... 🤦♀️ This realization has drastically changed my approach to naming moving forward,and how I structure my tokens.

Every time I read a token naming article, my imposter syndrome kicks in and I can't finish reading it. Instead I chatted with my team and we came up with something that worked for us. If I didn't understand it and it wasn't intuitive to me, it wasn't going to work. Period. ⬇️👀
#DesignSystems
Hot Take 🌶️
All these “token naming” articles are wrong. You need to look at your system and rationally develop your own *taxonomy system*, then use that to name your tokens.
Why?…

Anyone who was curious about my
#tokensstudio
documentation vaguetweets earlier this week 👀
@nathanacurtis
has been working hard with some of us TS power users to ensure this feature is EVERYTHING we need it to be 👌
Getting excited yet anxious as the moment approaches (as soon as this weekend?) that launches the first paid feature of the Specs plugin: displaying applied Token Studio tokens.

How might I brain dump a year of token pro tips onto a single page to organize my
@intodsconf
talk outline?
75 "ah-ha" notes to myself from along the way + 10 pages of convo transcripts with other "design team of one" peeps.

DS real talk. Are there design systems folks who don't test their components in product design before releasing them to consumers? 🤯 Every time I test a new component in a design, I realize at least 3 things I fucked up when creating it.

Today I learned I can apply a documentation token to multiple text frames at the same time... It only took me 4000+ tokens and 90% of a design system to "discover" this... 🤦♀️

Where the "other" creative magic happens 🏡🎶
Everytime I step away from music and come back, I'm reminded how easily I find a flow state compared to my other creative passions.
P.s. I'm playing in Toronto on Sat! DM me if you wanna come dancing 💃🕺

I chose not to watch most config online so my ADHD brain would have a hope in hell of grasping all the new things. 🤯 So, design keeners...what should I watch first?

So who wants to plan a jam where we test these things out and figure it out together? Like an office hours for new tokens toys? 😻
Watch the first episode where
@six7

How's your 2024 planning coming along?
My career goal is to empower more designers to become token masters. And this is the high level plan on how I'm going to make it happen.
Good thing the
@TokensStudio
team trusts my process, which always starts on paper... 😹

Actual screenshots from the first 100% tokenized DS I built for a CICD pipeline project handed over to a designer who knew 0 about tokens and STILL has not had to use
@TokensStudio
to iterate or build. How? DIY pieces already tokenized in template files.

And this is what that looks like.
Image 1: Our commonly used components
Image 2: Put into practice.
Outside of the Material Design calendar, this is all existing elements, getting reused because someone went through the effort of creating baseline components.
