Design Systems for Developers

Michael is definitely one person deserving your attention if your want to dig into design systems and design tokens. His thought-through articles he shared the last few months are definitely worth to read.

Hello Fellow Hunters, After hearing about "design tokens" for the first time this year, I decided to launch into a deep dive on the subject. My goal was simple. I wanted to know how to take design files from designers, translate them into design tokens, and build scalable assets for developers adopting a design system. In a word, I wanted to have the confidence to code production-ready design system assets for any company no matter the tech stack. I have gained that confidence and wanted to do a "brain dump" with the community before I reach the curse of knowledge. If you're a UI developer, I hope this book gives you the same confidence that I gained. If you're a designer, I hope this book helps you understand how to modernize collaboration with developers to work together towards launching an awesome design system. Cheers, Michael
