through multiple user feedback sessions on the existing toolkit,
three key insights surfaced that needed to be addressed:
1. designers prefer visuals over text
2. designers have a hard time digesting technical guidance
3. designers want guidance in their work environment
these insights led to the following deliverables:
1. 157 visual examples created to pair with text
