Hello Jina, Thanks for the great information! Question - How can we build the bridge between Figma/Sketch to ReactJS theming file (E.g. MUI)? whenever designers update the Figma/Sketchapp color palette then we can just give the JSON file?

[@DesignSystems]

you can use a few tools - there are plugins like figmagic or figma tokens which are supposed to help with this. also some third party apps like Interplay to check out!

hi jina thank you for sharing this, I'm curious to know how you got started as a design system designer

I made my first style guide in 2004 as part of an internship, and fell in love with the process. :)
