Design Systems at Scale | Penpot ✕ Tokens Studio Hands-On Demo


Listen Later

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the number of design tokens you’re managing? To help you simplify, Marco-Christian Krenn from Tokens Studio joins us as a special guest for this hands-on demo. Together with Laura Kalbag, Penpot Educator, he’ll guide you through building complex design systems in Penpot using fewer design tokens, reducing complexity and maintenance. 🤓

They’ll cover:

  • Fluid typography
  • Multi-brand, scalable systems powered by tokens
  • What belongs in your system core vs. what should be themeable
  • Proportional token systems using references and math operators
  • There will be time for live Q&A — bring your toughest (and nerdiest) token questions.
