“The three-tier token model alone was worth the entire course price. I've built design systems at three companies and this is the first time I've had a coherent framework for the naming decisions that used to be purely intuitive.”
“Elena's course changed how our entire team thinks about components. We rebuilt our library using the module on variant matrices and cut our design-to-engineering handoff time by roughly half.”
