Using Sketch Libraries to build a better UI design system
Composing complex UI patterns with speed and consistency is a simple process when using a predefined design system of particle properties and low-level components. By using these complex patterns - together with the properties and components they comprise - we can then rapid prototype even more complex structure and page layouts, with similar efficiency.
Why your design system needs its own Sketch plugin
To find inspiration I looked at how our team was already using Sketch. We have a pretty extensive and complex symbols library that grows as we add new features and products. This kind of system has major benefits for us, but I could also see some areas for improvement.
