Configuring the USWDS
The team at U.S. Digital Service had an existing design system that they pushed for use on the executive branch. The design system was code-based, and as far as design tools, only supported Adobe XD and Sketch. I worked to bring the design system to Figma, and configured variables to match the token specifications outlined
here. Naming conventions and color codes were kept the same to allow for extensibility and maintaining accessibility compliance. Tokenization helped establish consistency across design files and projects when it came to colors, sizing, typography, and more.
