What did I learn?
I learned many things, but the most important thing I got is summarized below.
🎨 Design System Matters
This is the first time I found that Design Systems are the key to design consistency. When we developed the website for the first time, I thought it would be fine without any Design Systems 🥹. But turns out the color keeps multiplying, components keep varying, and all other kinds of stuff that I can't say here🤯. So please, a word for designers, make your design system, and make it comfortable for developers by implementing design tokens🗝️
Conclusion
Communication between the designer and developer is a matter of talk, so talk it out!💞
