Table of Contents

    • Introduction
      • Welcome to “Design Tokens: Unifying UI Through a Code + Design Lexicon.” This book is a journey, a deep exploration into the heart of design and development, where creativity meets logic, aesthetics intertwine with function, and visual design language coalesces with code.
      • In the modern digital age, the boundaries between design and technology are blurring. The field of UI Design is no exception. A hybrid approach is increasingly becoming essential. Professionals who can effectively straddle the divide between UI design and UI development — whom we term as Design Technologists — are increasingly valuable. They bring a unique perspective to the process, allowing for the creation of cohesive, robust, and user-centric designs.
