A Common Design Language Let Designers and Developers talk to each other
summary
Argues that UI primitives — concrete, prop-driven components — become a shared language between design and code, implemented with React and tied to a live component library. Demonstrates automated pipelines that generate style guides from code and render components in Sketch so designers drag the exact same building blocks. Shows a real component library, explains how variants shrink into explicit props, centralizes accessibility fixes, and reports that the approach wins an open‑source award.
