Design Tokens

Design tokens are a standardized way to represent design decisions in a digital product. Think of them as a set of variables that define visual elements, like colors, fonts, spacing, and sizes. Instead of hardcoding these details into software, tokens allow designers and developers to use consistent values across different platforms and devices. This ensures a cohesive look and feel, streamlining collaboration and updates. When a design element needs to change, it can be modified in one place, automatically updating everywhere it’s used, which saves time and maintains quality in the design process.
