Inside Designer-Developer Collaboration: Real Talk with Both Sides

Designers and developers are the builders in our product teams, each with their own tools and processes. It’s natural to have some tension between them, but why is it so common to see their workflows clashing (leading to rework and inconsistencies)?
To get honest answers, we’re bringing both sides together for a heart-to-heart. With dozens of years of valuable experience among them, hear our panelists’ take on:
- What designers and devs enjoy most/least about working with each other
- The real causes of designer-developer misalignment
- Practical solutions for better documentation, organization, and other top design-to-dev challenges (and where Zeplin is invaluable)
- Requirements for a “good” design-to-development workflow
- Advice for new designers and devs on how to be great collaborators
