Design Kit FAQs

-
What if I don’t think I need everything in the Lean Design Kit, like icon selections or photo styling?
While we allow you to add to your Lean Design Kit, we don’t offer more pared down kits. Kits include the essentials needed to create a system of matching collateral and products so companies can focus on the work they do best. By doing this, we help your company look more polished and eliminate the inefficiencies of piecemeal brand building. This saves your company time and energy and keeps assets in a shareable, documented format for all collaborators.
-
Is a Lean Design Kit the same as a Design System?
No. Design Systems include tokens for styles and components that are used specifically for developing websites and products alone. Lean Design Kits can be used anywhere, in print or on screen. Our Lean Design Kits can be used in conjunction with a Design System or UI Kit to make your website and products match your brand.
-
Were these Design Kits generated by AI?
Not even a little bit. Everything included in the Design Kits was hand selected, tested in real-world scenarios, and (analyzed to bits) by professional design veteran, Kari Kay. All instructions were written and edited by Kari Kay as well.
