Must-have Starter Plugins

  • Sketch Toolbox

Helps you download any plugin(all of the below)

  • Dynamic Symbol Button

Great for Wireframes or process oriented UIs

Create one button style and insert it anywhere in your layout with any length of text

  • Icon Font (Favorite Plugin)

Helps you insert line-icons, font-awesome, and a few other icon fonts from within the “Text” tool.

Pros:
