Designing and launching a low fidelity wireframe kit
Key elements of the kit
Example of the kit in action
Within our team, we started the first draft of kit - unintentionally. We found success in using the look and feel, as well as the components, so we took this opportunity to make a formalized kit.
We did some informal user testing with our teammates to get an idea of how best to organize our final kit.
The kit is organized in such a way that it allows users to easily sub out the components they want, allowing them to prioritize design over construction.
One of the biggest successes we saw was self-proclaimed “non-designers” feeling empowered to design more.
Pre-set components
The kit contains many pre-built components; these were components we had found were used frequently in wireframing. We are continuing to add updates to the kit, ensuring that designers are able to draw upon any type of design element they might need.
‘How-to’ instructions
We wanted the intention of the kit to come across, so we included an intro and how-to guide when users first open it.

Examples
Before launch, we asked our teammates to create a few flows using the kit; these examples were then included so that kit users can see a few scenarios.
Impact
Since it’s launch in early 2022, the kit has been used by over 50k Figma users (with at least 10k users discovering it in the first month of launch).
Our kit also spearheaded a now established series of kits published internally by Method.

Along with Tyler Sharpe, I proactively created a low-fidelity ‘paper’ wireframing kit that was published to the Figma community. Since it’s launch in 2021, it has over 40k users. The kit has now set the tone at Method for proactive toolkits and has become widely used, even beyond Method. Read an article Tyler and I wrote about it here.
We started using lower fidelity wireframes with both our internal and client team, and saw that they allowed for collaboration that happened earlier and more often.
