Future Friendly Theming

My talk is a guide on how to think through theming problems, so the next time a project brief lands on your desk asking for "light, dark, and A11y modes across five brands, with unique requirements for web and native apps, plus classic and cozy style options," you'll know exactly what to do.

She/Her

Freelance Design Systems Lead

I'm a freelance Design Systems Lead with a Design Tokens obsession and a recovering Design Team of One. As a part of the Tokens Studio team, I spend most of my time unblocking folks so they can scale their systems, but I'm also a public speaker, host of Into Design Systems, and an educational content creator.

I'm really into street art and house music. I could talk about DJing and speaker technology for almost as long as I can talk about Design Tokens.
