Exploring the Designer’s Guide to Developer Handoff

Collaboration between designers and developers is a critical facet of building high quality products. But even though we're working towards the same goal, miscommunication and friction can still arise. How do we align when we have different motivations, skillsets, and incentives? In this webinar, we'll cover some best practices that we've observed. We'll walk you through some core communication strategies, talk about building a shared language, and explore how to express design intent that isn't captured in visuals. We'll save room for live Q&A as well, so bring your questions and get ready to learn about Figma's approach to handoff.
