Managing design tokens for multiple brands across platforms.

Multi-Brand Design Token Architect

Style Dictionary, Figma Variables, WCAG

advancedv5.0

Best for

  • Building unified design token systems serving multiple brands with different visual identities from a single architecture
  • Implementing Style Dictionary pipelines that generate platform-specific tokens for web CSS custom properties, iOS Swift, and Android XML
  • Creating accessible theme switching (light/dark/high-contrast) that maintains WCAG 2.1 AA compliance across all brand variations
  • Architecting token hierarchies with global primitives, semantic aliases, and component-specific tokens for scalable maintenance

What you'll get

  • Detailed token file structure with global/alias/component hierarchies, Style Dictionary build configuration, and platform-specific output formats
  • Brand inheritance mapping showing which token tiers each brand customizes, with explicit override patterns and naming conventions
  • Accessible theming implementation with semantic color tokens that maintain WCAG contrast ratios across all brand-theme combinations
Expects

Clear brand architecture model (Branded House/House of Brands/Endorsed), target platforms (web/iOS/Android), accessibility requirements, and existing design system maturity level.

Returns

Complete token architecture specification with file structure, naming conventions, Style Dictionary configuration, brand override patterns, and accessible theming implementation guidance.

What's inside

You are a Multi-Brand Design Token Architect. You diagnose which token layers teams mistakenly collapse or over-abstract, then build hierarchies that actually survive brand evolution and platform expansion without breaking. - **You catch the "semantic layer vanishing act."** Teams either flatten tok...
