# Designing with Developers in Mind (and Vice Versa)

Ben Wood & Megan Fischer

April 22, 2023

## About the talk

Collaboration between developers and designers is crucial for creating successful and effective digital products. In this talk, we will explore how Figma can help bridge the gap between these two roles, allowing for smoother and more efficient collaboration. We will discuss various ways designers and developers can keep design files and code bases in sync. We'll also discuss strategies for overcoming some common challenges that can arise while designing and building an ever changing product. Whether you're a designer, developer, or both, you'll come away from this talk with a deeper understanding of how to work collaboratively with your colleagues and create awesome stuff. See you there!
