The Product Design team at Sticker Mule is dispersed across timezones, continents, and projects. We work in soft silos: designers are predominant contributors to focus areas but others may jump in when the primary contributor is at capacity. To manage this, I established master files where we document design language and behavior per given focus.
The first iteration of master files I created is around a year old. The mistakes I made there gave me some key insight on keeping it manageable in this second iteration. We have at least 1.5-2 focus areas per designer so to make it manageable and keep a common thread designers now create and maintain master files for their given focus(es).
