German UPA WEBINAR: Design Tokens

In a world where design and development increasingly need to work hand in hand, design tokens are an essential tool to encourage this collaboration. They allow you to create an effective design system that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but can also be smoothly integrated into the development process.

In this webinar, Daniel and Jonas, founders of kickstartDS and owners of ruhmesmeile, a design systems consultancy, will show you how design tokens can form an essential foundation of your design system. We will look at some best practices and their application in design systems. You will learn how to implement design tokens in your projects and the benefits they offer to your team and stakeholders

In this Webinar you will learn

• When and where you can use design tokens and how to demonstrate their value convincingly.

• What level of tokens you need for different environments of your design system.

• How to name your tokens so that they are easy to use.

Daniel Ley and Jonas Ulrich After more than 15 years of developing websites and UIs as a traditional online agency, we wanted to improve the way teams work on web front-ends. That's why we founded kickstartDS as a corporate venture in 2021 and specialised in consulting for digital design systems and headless CMS with ruhmesmeile GmbH as a design system agency.

Daniels and Jonas' statement on the topic: ‘With Design Tokens, you put an end to chaos and ambiguity. You create a common language that combines design freedom and technical efficiency.’
