Design + Development The Importance of Understanding

description

Hello! In this presentation I explain what has worked for me as I navigate the murky waters of a designer learning how to develop, and effectively discussing the importance of understanding between designers and developers. Having the skills of both to some extent, I've found it's key to have a clear vocabulary and collaborate with clear expectations on both sides so the best quality product is shipped on time, every time.
