The Evolution of Design Tokens

In this talk, I will take you on a journey through the history of web design, exploring essential advancements in CSS, design tools, and developer-designer collaboration. Step by step, we’ll uncover the benefits of outsourcing our design decisions to an agnostic source of truth that has the potential to bring stakeholders closer together. We’ll take a deep dive into the anatomy, organization, and distribution of design tokens while looking at real-world challenges and best practices. Finally, a selection of demos, tools, and resources will guide you in getting started in the world of design tokens.
