It was an awesome project, and I consider it was one of my proudest achievements. Being involved in such a significant project within the company was truly a privilege. I encountered numerous 'first-time' experiences here, including working with components, tokens, and design systems, which have left unforgettable memories.

However, at the beginning, I doubted my ability to handle this role without a mentor, especially since my manager had left the company, leaving the project in my hands. I had limited knowledge about how tokens worked at that stage. Determined to succeed, I dedicated several days to studying my manager's work, familiarising myself with each token, component, and page. I watched tutorials on YouTube, conducted numerous experiments on my own, and ask for guidance from engineers. Additionally, I discovered a faster way to understand the system—by naming each token based on its associated component. This naming list could be reused during the development stage, which proved to be a valuable idea.

Tokens revolutionised my thinking, making it more logical and valuable. It provided a set of rules governing the relationships between values. We had to apply tokens for every aspect, such as spacing, sizing, and radius. This approach ensured the consistency of the design system, while maintaining the flexibility to fit for different clients' needs.

To me, a design system is a harmonious combination of rules and creativity, consistency and flexibility, efficiency and usability. I am eager to explore further and embrace similar challenges in the future.
