CEO & co-founder at Hyma, the company behind Tokens Studio. Creative technologist since 1999. I build the infrastructure that decides what a brand looks like: for the people designing it, and now for the AI agents working on it.
Tokens Studio started as a Figma plugin and grew into the platform where 350,000+ designers and developers define, version and ship their brands.
Tokens Studio: the brand system of record, for people and agents
- One engine, every surface. Token resolution runs on a single Go engine, delivered over gRPC, WebAssembly and a CLI, so the value a designer sees in the browser is exactly what ships to production.
- Full history of every brand decision. Every change to tokens, themes, docs and components goes into an append-only event log. Every change has an author, a reason, and can be replayed.
- Agent-native. Our MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code agents read and safely write brand systems, with review, rollback and project isolation built in.
- Multi-brand at scale. One source of truth feeds dozens of brands, markets and modes, from design tokens to docs, assets and components.
- Headless Design Systems: separating a design system's logic from its brand expression, co-created with @EstherCheran
- W3C Design Tokens Community Group member, working on the open standard for design tokens
- Multi-brand token architecture for teams running many brands on one system
