Over the past year, the idea of developing a new design system, particularly leveraging CSS custom properties for implementing light and dark modes, had been on my mind.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design.

From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
