Hey there! Big news: Chapter 1 of our Subatomic Design Tokens Course is live!
Chapter 1 covers important core concepts about design tokens. What problems do design tokens solve? We introduce the concept of the “Multi-All-The-Things” organization; your organization needs to support some unique flavor of: multiple products, brands, frameworks, platforms, redesigns (always!), product families (e.g. marketing sites and enterprise apps), sub-brands, white-labeling, dark mode, and more. Whew, it’s a lot!
Not only is this a lot, it’s also super expensive! We dig into the business case for design tokens, and detail what ROI you can expect by establishing a sound token & component system versus doing things the old fashioned way.
We demonstrate how creating token and component systems can help you design & build at scale in order to meet the needs of your Multi-All-The-Things organization.
In addition to all that, we cover the history of themeable user interfaces, design tokens’ origin story (shout out to Jina!), what exactly design tokens are, and where they fit into a broader design system ecosystem.
In addition to the full hour of Chapter 1 material, the course also has over 2 hours of preorder-exclusive video content, several dozen links, and actionable steps you can take while we develop the full course content. We also set up a private Slack instance and fun Figjam board for everyone to connect and nerd out about design tokens.
If any of this sounds good to you, preorder the course! You’ll get over 25% off the full price, receive first access to everything, and come along the journey with us. You can preorder right here:
