Get a Designer​

Dev teams will sometime have people wear multiple hats while doing development. One of these hats is designer. It is highly recommended to get a designer who is trained and knows what they're doing instead of wearing multiple hats.

Where to Find One​

Personal Project:

Professional Project:

  • Ask your supervisor if there is a design team in your organization
    • If so then see your dev team has the budget to hire one
    • If not then see if you can pitch the idea of starting a design team at your work

Listen to Your Designer​

It's always a good idea to listen to your designer. A lot of research goes into making a good user experience. Information is usually conveyed in a Figma diagram.

Figma​

Figma is the industry standard app for designers to make designs for websites, mobile, watches, etc. and share those with others. For a dev team, this design is usually what inspires the look and feel of the frontend.

Figma can also be used to verify that your app meets accessibility requirements such as ensuring that the app's colors works for people with color blindness.
