Working With Developers | UX/UI Designers

Hi there :)

There is always a misconception that designers need to know how to code to be able to communicate with the development team.

"Designers should code" - In this video, I discuss this topic and share my thoughts from experience.

As a developer this is really useful to see how designers ‘think’ they should interact/work with developers.
Loving the use of Zepplin too! Definitely adding that to my workflow!
Great content, keep it up :)

Thank you so much, i'd been looking for this info all night, and i love how your spirit is so ligthted up and is comforting, you are a beautiful light, that God has made, sry to say if it seems unnecessary i know, but had to say . and thanks

Great content. Handover documents is not the only approach when sharing your design files with developers.

Probably an organizational mistake to have separate front-end and back-end teams (see "Conway's law"). Much better to organize teams based on business delivery with teams including designers, FE & BE developers. Otherwise a great overview for designers. Love your channel!

as a developer looking to work with designers its important to understand how to collab with the other side; Zeplin seems cool also!

Im a mix of a ui ux dev and design. Recently graduates with an IT degree with a focus on web dev and design. And i dont know what to focus on. I love desiging a button but through code not through figma so much i enjoy design softwares but not as much as front end coding im thinking to do my masters in software engineering would this enable me more to get a role in front end development?
Do front end devs at bigger companies get to design a bit?

Can you do a video on UX design vs Web design? Are web designers considered to know how to code compared to UX designers?

Sometime I get confused when android and ios developers ask me for font size especially when I have already made the design on figma still they ask me because the size on design and size on developing is much different. How to solve this problem or what size should I tell the developers which can be same for me and for developer too?
