About this event
This session will guide you through the basics of design tokens, using easy-to-understand explanations and step-by-step instructions. We’ll show you how to create tokens for common design elements like colors, text styles, and spacing. You’ll then see how these tokens can be used to ensure your buttons, cards, and other components look consistent throughout your designs. We’ll also cover simple strategies for naming and organizing these tokens within a Figma design system so that your designs remain easy to manage and adapt.
Whether you’re just starting with Figma or new to design systems, this session will help you build a solid foundation for efficient and cohesive designs.
