Andrew “Red” Witschonke, Director of Engineering at Beezwax, first presented on the User’s Sandbox technique at Claris Engage 2024 — the premier event for the FileMaker development community, held at Apple’s Austin Campus and hosted by Claris, an Apple company.

Our marketing team wanted to implement a design system that could quickly generate different variations of display ads in multiple sizes, based on IAB Fixed Size Ad Specifications. This system had to balance creative freedom and brand adherence. We wanted users to be able to change content, colors, backgrounds, buttons and other visual elements without heavy involvement from a designer. However, it was important to create a systematic approach, so ads would stay on brand and follow a conceptual and visual pattern.
