Extraction over pre-mature abstraction
The best tokens and components are extracted from proven, battle-tested UI patterns. When you design in vacuum, components become over-engineered with dozens of props that nobody needs.
- Start with strict primitive tokens: color, spacing, radius, and typography.
- Extract composite components only after a pattern appears in three distinct views.
- Document components through usage guidelines rather than isolated theory.
Maintaining consistency across engineering handoffs
A design system is only as good as its implementation fidelity. Aligning token names between Figma and CSS variables removes guesswork during sprint handoffs and keeps the production codebase lean.
