How do you bridge the gap between design and development?
Communication is key
Another way to bridge the gap between designers and developers is to help them understand the effort required in the project, whether in design or development. Also, it's essential to validate the design with the development team before showing it to the client.
What is the final hand off process?
The design handoff is a point in the product development process where developers implement the finished design. In order for a handoff to be successful, a good designer-developer collaboration is vital. But more often than not this phase doesn't go as smoothly as it should.
How do designers and developers work together?
I collaborate with developers by clearly communicating my designs through words and via software such as Zeplin and by making prototypes the developers can access and see my designs in motion. “I also do regular checkins and design reviews to make sure everything is going according to plan.”
