Step 1
Define Core Brand Assets

Step 2
Build a Component Library
Recreate the approved assets as reusable components in Figma so every future design pulls from the same source.
Step 3
Generate On-Brand Variations at Scale
Use Canva AI to quickly produce on-brand variations of templates like social posts and one-pagers using the locked-in assets.
Step 4
Document Usage Rules
Write up spacing, color, and usage guidelines in Notion AI so anyone using the system applies it consistently.
Time Required
Half a day, one-time setup
Expected Result
A component library and usage documentation your whole team can pull from for every future design.
