Fully agree! Of course I’m going to say use Tokens Studio — but plan things out in a figjam, build a spreadsheet. Token architecture is strongly weighted to theory over practice - plan share iterate and document, then implement

I’ve noticed a frustrating trend recently where people are unable to explain why they dislike something, or their feedback is very shallow and cliched. Feedback needs to be actionable, critique needs to be critical, not dismissive.

I see a potential solution to the Figma draft debacle being time-limited drafts Create a draft in a 'personal ' space Draft lives for 24 hours Restrict access after 24 hours (read only) Prompt to move draft into a team / project If the draft is unmoved after 30 days, delete it

It's been a pleasure working with Tokens Studio for the last year, designing and building some great new features in the plugin. But it's time for my next adventure - I'm open to all opportunities in the design systems space, tokens, tooling, components, documentation - DMs open

Happy to announce I’ll be working full time with a new client next week! Thanks everyone who reached out with job opps and set up intro calls ❤️

One of the main benefits I see for design tokens, beyond automation efficiencies, is in saving time and money by giving designers confidence they're applying the correct design decision for the context they're designing in.

I get that money is tight for some folks right now, but what's the deal with everyone turning personal projects into revenue streams? What happened to just doing things for the love of making and learning?

Just had a lovely chat with @_hraymond about my upcoming talk for Converge, and also in a meta-way his talk about writing better talks. Exciting stuff coming to your eyeballs and earballs

Friendly word of warning: This will screw with style dictionary / terrazzo - if you're compiling variables for use in other languages hyphens in variable names get removed for camelCasing and go all over the place in kebab-case

Cooking up some new UI things - reckon this could be the next big aesthetic trend.

Skill issue

Thanks for having me zeroheight - converge was a warm hug of design systems content!

Thanks Josh for such flattering photos - hope you got some enjoyable takeaways between the tech issues and heartbreak

Starting a band with 🦋scott.is and front-end.social/@heydon - black slide sweary boys. - it’s a metal, surf, John Mayer tribute band. We just have a lot of strong feelings okay

Designers, this is your burnout cure. Spend time enjoying design again.

Thanks for the shout out luis. — hope you all enjoy your Figma coffee morning

Single Sign On? more like single point of failure

Interesting iconography choice Notion

Just some lovely photos of me from Config this week.
