Video Description

Want to take your design to the next level? Learn how to set up semantic design tokens like a pro! In this video, we'll dive into the world of design tokens and show you how to set them up efficiently, making your design process smoother and more scalable. From understanding the importance of semantic design tokens to implementing them in your workflow, we've got you covered. Get ready to elevate your design game and join the ranks of professional designers who know the secret to creating consistent and stunning designs. *Please note that this is not the preferred approach to design token setup. Design tokens should ideally be a three-tiered approach, but this is a video request I get frequently! See below for link to building a three-tiered file. ** Also add all additional colour scales to the primitive collection, including reds, greens, etc. Sorry this was not clear in the video.
