Just finished designing a 20 pages deck for a client.
Here is my workflow:
(1) - Information architecture where created inside Figma first, preparing design direction and define text hierarchy.
(2) - After importing (simple copy/paste) Pencil started the layout and first styling based on some style directions
(3) - Back to Figma (via Pencil Plugin) to finished everything
What I get is a really consistent design, where I and the client can make some final tweaks if needed.

Curious: What’s missing in most brand systems, in your opinion?
For me, the brand guidelines system we develop at Heed Collective must be a living document — one that supports the brand in real decision-making, across teams, contexts, and moments of growth.
Building structures that guide how a brand behaves, adapts, and scales across every touchpoint.
What makes it work:
— decision-making logic, not just rules
— flexible systems, not static files
— consistency with room to evolve
We don’t launch brands — we build culture for humans, ethically.
And one thing we always add:
→ Brand Culture Layer — translating strategy into how the brand speaks, acts, and shows up in the world.
Awesome!
looks great
A few mascotte tests that sadly will never see the light of day. Client decided to stick to "normal" branding. 😭
It is certainly their loss! This would've been such a memorable mark. Love it :D
