Really enjoyed this chat with Akbar Mirza about design systems ❤️ Can't wait to see the other videos come out for this Bridging the Gap series!
design systems are a hot topic and teams often overthink what's needed for an effective DS - you might already have one without realizing it. I chatted with @_AnaBoyer to learn about them and how you can use them effectively in @figma full video on YT:

Lots of people asked about @figma's variables/design tokens and we heard you! This Thursday at 9am PT, I'll be hosting a livestream where Josh Ferrell and @ryhanhassan will be sharing the story of how Figma evolved from our first set of design tokens to a full system, using Figma variables as our source of truth. Hope to see you all there!
What do you want to know about @Figma's internal design system?

@figma FYI if you want the "create variable" option to appear in the eyedropper tool, hit shift+cmd

Now that I made a tip about color variable names, figured I'd make one as well covering typography variables 🔠 #typography #variables #designsystems #FigmaTip
