Show Description

Brad and Ian stop by to chat about their new course, The Complete Guide to Design Tokens, what happens if you don't use design tokens on projects, what the ideal outcome is for building and designing with design tokens, how many colors is enough, what about refactoring, and does Figma or code win the argument?

(Brad and Ian did give us a 20% discount code for the course: SHOPTALKSHOWISAWESOME)
