Continuing my partnership with Bonnie Kate Wolf and working on a digital merchandising component library and design system for Caviar .

Don't want to say too much more right now, but feel free to give either of us a shout if you'd like to learn more (or work together!)

Collaborated with Bonnie Kate Wolf on an email focused design system for Pallet. 

Until this I hadn't worked on copy driven project, so designing dynamic templates around that was a great learning experience. Simplicity & scalability! 

Released a post about using `:where()` in design systems: https://leininger.tech/words/where-pseudo-class/

Released Bitts 2.0 🚀

New year, new design system! We validated the need for a design system in-org in 2020 with 30 new components, and now we are ready to do it again and do it better.

To kick off the next generation of our shiny new design system, we've updated our app foundations:

• Switched font-family to system-ui: To create a native feel no matter what operating system
• Added accessible UI palettes: Give more color options in-app while also ensuring they all meet accessibility standards
• Implemented design tokens: Using a token system to make sure we are using colors and other properties with purpose and consistency

What can you expect to see from us in the future? Expect to see an easier-to-use interface that looks great too, as well as more considerations for accessibility. I hope you're as excited as I am!
