UX Style Frameworks: Creating Collaborative Standards

by Marti Gold

UX Style Frameworks is a practical guide for the hands-on creation of a Style Framework. This new and collaborative documentation format combines different departments’ standards and style guides into a single, unified, and accessible source for all employees.
