Building Sticker Sheets to scale design systems
summary
A concrete playbook: migrate messy Sketch files into Figma by first running an inventory (found 21 colors 39 typefaces 280 symbols 143 components), then enforcing naming conventions, splitting work into a foundation file (library, styles, docs) and a live sticker sheet (flows, exploration), onboarding 30+ people, running five usability tests measuring effectiveness efficiency and satisfaction, and tracking adoption (130 teams 24k inserts in seven days 88k inserts in a year) to prove the system scales.
