💎 Design system contribution models
Three popular models from Nord, Canonical, and Pluralsight show how companies contribute changes to their design systems. Nice reference for design system managers who want to streamline the design process in their organizations.
Published a new video to the My First Variable video series about typography variables if you're a little stuck on the intricacies of font weights because I know I certainly am 📺

Design Tokens Naming Playbook is HERE 🌈🔥🙌
How should we name and manage design tokens? How can you create a searchable database and determine what is related? What about the workshop? Automation? Yep, it's all there.

Loving not just seeing the new functionality coming to @Figma, announced at Framework right now but the huge amount of interest there is. Such a vibrant, passionate community around all of this stuff 👏 👏 👏
We were dropping hints about typography
Now our typography drop:
→ Font family
→ Font weight and style
→ Font size
→ Line height
→ Letter spacing
→ Paragraph spacing and indent
@svorklab Yes, just styles and cry 🥲 it’s not as bad as it seems; teams just need to interpret designs rather than take it literally IMO.
Focussing on pixel perfection starts to become a false economy past a certain point 😅
🚀 Today is the day! Join us for an exciting AMA session with Moonpig. This event is free to attend and open to anyone who is interested in learning more about design maturity.

This is a massive post that digs into the gory details of a mature, sophisticated, and successful UI ecosystem for complex organizations.
Hey design system folk! I'm trying to grow my network a little on here. Which beagle represents you in the design system world? (If you're not there I can always add more beagles!)

What's your favorite @Figma keyboard shortcut? Here's mine:
Control + Shift + ?: Show all Keyboard Shortcuts. Blue means you've used it, black means you haven't. (Thx to @joeyabanks for that gem!)
Also the plugin "Zen Keys" adds quick menu actions for things without a shortcut.
