A Common Design Language. Let Designers and Developers talk to each other
summary
Claim: build a shared vocabulary of UI primitives so designers and developers stop arguing over buttons and text and instead ship consistent interfaces. Evidence: React components published on NPM plus a synced Sketch library let code produce style guides automatically. Surprise: the talk frames design variance like natural languages—7000+ analogies—to justify limiting choices. Demo/results: component-driven assets and generated Sketch symbols exist and feed a website and workshops that show the approach working.
