A practical visual explainer authored by Romina Kavcic, published in February 2025. It outlines how product teams can set up an automated workflow that bridges design and development using design tokens. Kavcic walks readers through a step-by-step process involving tools such as Figma, Tokens Studio, Style Dictionary, GitHub, and CI/CD pipelines. The goal is to create a scalable, maintainable system where design decisions like color, spacing, and typography are codified and kept in sync across platforms.
The guide presents a clear flow—starting in Figma and ending in production code—with an emphasis on how automation improves efficiency, reduces handoff friction, and maintains consistency. It’s structured with annotated diagrams and simple explanations, making it accessible to both design and engineering audiences. As part of the broader Design System Guide platform, this piece offers actionable insight into modern design ops practices, particularly for teams looking to adopt token-driven workflows at scale.
