Have you ever been on a project where the design process was slowed down by repetitive tasks such as manually updating colors, fonts, and spacing? Discover a forward-thinking approach to enriching user experiences by integrating design tokens with Storybook and Figma in Drupal. This session explores how design tokens serve as a central repository for design decisions, ensuring consistent and scalable outcomes across complex projects.

Explore how Storybook’s interactive development environment fosters seamless collaboration between designers and developers, bridging the gap between design conception and execution with precision.

We will explore the implementation of design tokens, covering best practices and practical tips to help you get started.

Outline:
1. Consistency Across Projects: Establish a uniform design language with design tokens as the authoritative source.
2. Enhanced Collaboration: Foster improved communication and collaboration between designers and developers using Storybook's interactive features and Figma Components and variables.
3. Scalability: Scale design systems effectively across large projects while maintaining coherence and minimizing redundancy.
4. Efficiency: Streamline development efforts through reusable components, reducing time and resource expenditures.
5. Adaptability: Quickly respond to design changes and project requirements with a flexible and modular approach.
6. Improved Design System Management: Simplify maintenance and updates of design systems to ensure they remain current and effective.
