Starting off day 2 of @a11yTO Conf with a talk by my friend and former colleague @danieldafoe. I learned a lot about the features and affects of ARIA outside of screen readers.

@donnavitan @disco_lu We're managing colours and typography in a "Theme" collection like you are. Now, we're trying to figure out the best ways to organize platform and breakpoint variables via their own collections.

How do people create dark mode in Figma? Would you create both light/dark mode in a single column? Do you create a column for each? And if you manage multiple brands, do you double them?
Or is there a way for sub-theme/modes in Figma?

@donnavitan Advice at the moment is to double up your columns like this:
Brand A Light | Brand A Dark | Brand B Light | Brand B Dark

Super excited about an afternoon of learning with @figma today! I've been spearheading our team's variables initiatives since the feature's launch and am looking forward to adding more variables coverage (typography?!) to our design system.

Attending this @a11yTO meetup tonight! The GOV.UK design system is one I reference often, so I'm looking forward to their lessons learned when it comes to incorporating accessibility.

I had a blast at last night's book launch for @steven_lebron's Prehistoric! Loved hearing all the origin stories of the @Raptors and seeing the logo design process. Congrats, Alex!
