hi @lawrencevg ,

your question is not clear to me, what I understand is , you already have some assets like image, docs an all and you wana use it in aem.

If I am right then my answer will be yes You can do it.

But approach will be different in different scenario.

If number of assets are less then you can manually upload it in aem's dam from your local machine.

If number of assets are huge, you can write some service that will get the assets from the already available repo. and write it into the aem dam with required rendition with the help of Assetmanager API.

We already have Sceene7 and s3  available that can also help you in some scenario.

Hope this will help.

There is no OOTB functionality to integrate Sketch to AEM. What Adobe has done with XD is to provide a UI toolkit for Adobe core components and style them as you need. Refer design kit section at [1]

 

If you want to make it much more automated, you can do an integration like 

Adobe XD -> Storybook -> AEM. You can refer more at [2]
