Sara Alba
Last position:
Design Systems Engineer at ClimatePartner GmbH
Sole owner of the design system for an enterprise corporate-decarbonisation platform; the role was created on joining. I own design intent, tokens, component contracts, documentation and governance — engineering owns implementation.
- Established design system practice where none existed: token architecture, component specifications, audits, documentation and governance, in an organisation that had shipped for years without a design team.
- Rebuilt the design-side source of truth — replaced an undocumented, individually modified purchased kit with a clean component library and rebranded theme, and mirrored code components into design so both layers finally describe the same product.
- Consolidated overlapping legacy components into single contract-driven components, replacing configuration sprawl with intent expressed at the type level.
- Audited the system quantitatively — token counts, adoption ratios, override density, local-component proliferation — converting "the system isn't working" into figures engineering could not dispute.
- Authored the proposal to migrate off Material UI onto owned, standards-based foundations: headless primitives, plain CSS with custom properties, W3C-format design tokens and a documented component library — scoped as a staged pilot on the highest-friction component to prove the model without functional risk.
- Built and presented the case to executive stakeholders, including direct answers to the objections raised by the specialists most invested in the existing stack.

About the technology
What they do
Design tokens are the shared source of truth for colors, spacing, type, motion, and other design decisions. Specialists use them to keep design systems consistent across web, mobile, and product teams. They turn visual rules into reusable values that teams can ship with less drift.
Typical work
- Define token names and token groups for brand, product, and theme support
- Map Figma styles and variables to implementation-ready tokens
- Set up light and dark themes, brand variants, and mode switching
- Connect tokens to CSS, JavaScript, native apps, or component libraries
Tooling around tokens
Most projects combine a design tool, a token source format, and a build step. Strong specialists know how to work with Figma Variables, Style Dictionary, Tokens Studio, and platform-specific output formats. They also understand how to keep token files clean, versioned, and reviewable.
When to bring help
Companies usually bring in freelance expertise when a design system is growing, a rebrand is underway, or teams are duplicating values by hand. In Munich, this often matters for product teams that need close coordination between design and engineering, but can still work well remotely. A good expert reduces inconsistency without slowing delivery.
What strong specialists deliver
Strong professionals do more than rename values. They structure token taxonomies, define semantic layers, and keep raw values separate from usage tokens. They also document decisions so teams can maintain the system after launch.
Good project outcomes
Design tokens work best when they support real delivery, not just tidy files.
- A stable naming model that teams can use without guesswork
- Theme-ready tokens for products that need brand or mode switching
- Clear handoff between design, frontend, and native implementation
- Documentation that helps new specialists and teams stay aligned
Frequently asked questions
Need clarity? These are the questions we hear most often about Design Tokens.
Design tokens capture shared values such as color, spacing, typography, and motion so teams can reuse them across products. They help design and engineering stay aligned when building component libraries, themes, and multi-brand interfaces. That makes them useful anywhere visual consistency matters.
Design tokens are broader than Figma styles or variables because they are meant to travel from design into code and across platforms. Figma can be part of the workflow, but tokens are usually the system that connects design intent to implementation. Strong specialists know how to map one to the other without creating duplicate sources of truth.
A strong Design Tokens specialist usually knows naming systems, component libraries, theming, and front-end implementation. Familiarity with Figma, CSS, JavaScript, and build tools such as Style Dictionary is often important. The best experts also understand how product teams review and govern shared design assets.
A design token rollout needs more than basic file editing. You want someone who has worked on semantic token layers, theme switching, and a clean handoff into a live product. For larger systems, it helps if the specialist has already handled migration from ad hoc values to a structured token model.
Bring in Design Tokens expertise when your UI starts to drift, your design system needs scaling, or a rebrand touches many screens. It is also useful when teams have token files but no clear governance or naming rules. External specialists can unblock the setup and leave behind a maintainable system.
Most design tokens work can be done remotely because it relies on collaboration, file reviews, and implementation checks. On-site time in Munich can still help when teams need fast decisions with design and engineering together. The best setup depends on how tightly your stakeholders need to work.
Look for a Design Tokens freelancer who can explain the system, not just push values around. Good signs are clear naming, separation between raw and semantic tokens, clean theming support, and documentation that other specialists can maintain. Ask for examples of how they handled migration, governance, and cross-platform output.
A design tokens project often leads into design system cleanup, component library support, and front-end integration. It may also involve token governance, accessibility checks for color sets, and alignment between product, brand, and engineering. A well-rounded specialist should be comfortable across those boundaries.
