Designers and developers often work toward the same goal but speak different languages – causing friction, delays, or compromised outcomes. This talk equips UX/UI designers with key development concepts to design more effectively with code in mind, streamline handoffs, and build stronger collaboration with dev teams.
Based on real-world examples and insights from my workshops (where designers often join to better understand what happens after the handoff), I’ll show how adopting a developer’s perspective can reduce tension and help teams deliver better results – together.
Key takeaways:
- See through the developer’s lens: learn how basic HTML and CSS principles influence design implementation and timelines (тук бих включила компонентите и как се повлияват от потребителското поведение)
- Designing for handoff: align your design decisions with developers’ workflows to reduce back-and-forth and avoid costly redesigns.
- Experiment with AI tools: explore how designers can use tools like Loveable or Cursor AI to prototype, test, or even implement parts of their designs — building a deeper understanding of the development process.
