Pretty sure “lol” functions as a period in half of my messages, regardless of the contents.

Exploring Multi-Brand Systems with Tokens and Composability Exploring a Card component made hyper flexible though use of easily changeable custom properties, props, and slots.

Design systems aren’t just about keeping everything looking the same; they’re about making things flexible enough to handle whatever gets thrown at them.

Read about how I handle these challenges with Tokens, Composition, and Configuration on the @frontendmasters.com blog!

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

This is going to be incredibly useful! I can’t wait to drop yet another JS library because we can accomplish the same thing with only CSS.

Reducing dependencies sold always be celebrated!

Using composability over inheritance to scale design systems - zeroheight Adam Sedwick explains why you should choose composability over inheritance to scale design systems, turning them into a resilient toolkit teams actually use.

I wrote a piece for Zeroheight on why composability wins over inheritance when it comes to building systems that actually work for teams.

Designer friends, I'm looking for some insights and could use your help!

What have you found to be the most useful to you (or your team) when it comes to Figma file or project organization?

What best facilitates collaboration between multiple people with different working styles?

Sometimes I see things we (collectively in the UI design field) do and it really reminds me how we really lost the plot. Like, what are we even doing anymore.

Accessibility is more important than whatever aesthetic you’re going for with some custom typeface

If you ever find yourself struggling with impostor syndrome, just remember that David Zaslav made $52 million last year to slowly come to the conclusion that, actually, HBO is a good brand
