These strategic acquisitions mark a significant milestone in our mission to create a more beautiful world, one brand at a time, and establish ourselves as the default leader in the branding and design category.
A Vision Rooted in Education and Community
At Stylebase, we believe branding is more than aesthetics—it’s a tool for connection, trust, and identity. With this belief at our core, we’ve set out to revolutionize how businesses, designers, and governments approach brand management.
The acquisition of styleGuides.com, brandguidelines.com, and brandkits.com allows us to expand beyond innovative tools like Brandy and UI Vault.

How Each Platform Advances Our Mission

StyleGuides.com will become the ultimate resource for visual design systems and style guide creation, powered by public style guides and collections from UI Vault users. From documenting components and styles to showcasing the evolution of design systems, this platform will be the go-to destination for designers and teams looking to understand and implement cohesive, scalable design systems from real-world examples.
BrandGuidelines.com
BrandGuidelines.com will serve as the definitive guide to brand consistency, offering tools, templates, and resources to help businesses, agencies, and governments craft professional, enduring brand guidelines, powered by public brand spaces and guidelines from Brandy users. Our goal is to standardize the approach to brand management, making it accessible to organizations of all sizes.
BrandKits.com
BrandKits.com will be a community-driven educational platform that provides insights, inspiration, and resources for creating and managing cohesive brand kits. It will serve as a launchpad for brand enthusiasts, small businesses, and creative teams, promoting practical applications of brand theory and showcasing how brands can tell compelling stories through their visual identities.

By harnessing AI-powered insights and real-world user data, we’ll transform StyleGuides.com, BrandGuidelines.com, and BrandKits.com into dynamic platforms that evolve with the needs of the branding community. Brand Consciousness AI will analyze key metrics like page views on brand spaces, downloaded and uploaded assets, the number of brand spaces and design systems users manage on Brandy and UI Vault, and even domain authority. This data will allow us to deliver highly personalized content, highlight top-performing users and designs, and curate resources that are most relevant and impactful.” said Walter Kimaro, CTO of Stylebase Inc. “By coupling BrandOS with our AI capabilities, we’re not just creating static platforms—we’re building interactive, living ecosystems that empower communities, reward innovation, and set new standards for branding education and collaboration.
