Design tokens encode visual styles in code-friendly formats, bridging design and development seamlessly.
What Are Design Tokens?
Design tokens are named entities representing UI properties like colors, typography, and spacing.
They ensure a single source of truth shared across platforms.
Benefits of Using Tokens
Tokens improve consistency, scalability, and ease of updates across products.
They facilitate collaboration and reduce duplicated effort.
Managing Tokens Effectively

Governance is key to maintaining token quality and relevance.
Integrating Tokens in Development
