Designer Toolkit

Essential designer utilities for writing rationale, building presentations, crafting case studies, UX writing, and driving adoption.

Skills (7)

• case-study — Craft a portfolio case study with narrative arc, process evidence, and outcomes. Use when telling a project's story to an external audience. For an internal stakeholder deck, use presentation-deck.
• design-negotiation — Advocate for design quality, scope, and timeline with partners and leadership using evidence and shared goals. Use in the conversation itself. For the commercial vocabulary behind it, use business-design (ux-strategy).
• design-rationale — Write rationale connecting decisions to user needs, business goals, and principles. Use when a decision needs defending in writing. For a live conversation, use design-negotiation.
• design-system-adoption — Create adoption strategy and enablement materials to drive design system usage. Use when the system exists but teams ignore it. For contribution and versioning rules, use design-system-governance (design-systems).
• design-token-audit — Audit token usage across a product for coverage, drift, and hard-coded values. Use when tokens exist and you suspect they are being bypassed. For defining tokens in the first place, use design-token (design-systems).
• presentation-deck — Structure a design presentation for a specific audience and decision. Use when presenting internally. For a portfolio narrative use case-study; for the written argument use design-rationale.
• ux-writing — Write interface copy — microcopy, error messages, empty states, and CTAs. Use when the words are the deliverable. For content structure and ownership, use content-strategy (ux-strategy).
