How we used design thinking to connect teams and build a scalable icon library by Julie Barge RGD

Learn how we used the method of “affinity mapping” to bring our creative teams together, sort ideas and build a customized, sharable and scalable icon library. I’ll take you through the steps we used to get there. I’ll provide resources, and share how we maintain and grow our library today, a year after launch. Finally, I’ll give you a glimpse into our design system “The Nest” which helps us communicate the purpose of our icons and their design principles.
