Wrapped up a focused little Design Tokens workflow and tooling project for a client this morning.
I think that's me for 2025.
For 2026, do you need a natty front-end developer? A Design Systems expert? A Design Tokens master? All three?

what if you could drag-and-drop/copy and paste/import from GitHub your design tokens .tokens.json or .json file and generate 'documentation' in Figma that display what's in the data and also create the correct Figma Variables from that data too…

It's like MTV ...
1. Get a VPN (😉)
2. Open YouTube
3. Find some 90s/00s music videos.
4. Play through a couple to generate a 'mix'.
5. Play the mix and have your own little MTV channel for the day.
