[META] UX Design library of assets Phase One

Goal: Make maintaining consistency automated so we can focus on designing

Within Sketch, symbols and styles are only relevant to the file they are in. Making changes will not affect another Sketch file. This means that if we intend on sharing symbols and styles across files then each designer must commit to making manual changes to a master file anytime anything is changed, and retrieve any changes before working on something new. I do not believe this is ideal or sustainable.

Brand.ai was chosen as the best tool for the job after trial and error with Sketch native options as well as free 3rd party plugins.

Pros:

  • Consistency across all files
  • Burden of upkeep taken off designers
  • Automate style guide generation
