Learning UX Design & Visual Design Basics To Improve Web Developer and Designer Collaboration - Stephanie Stimac - Pixel Pioneers 2024
Original Title: Democratizing Design for Better Collaboration
---

In this web design talk, Stephanie Stimac explains how web developers learning UX Design & Visual Design Basics can help improve web developer and designer collaboration in web developer teams.

Design and UX Talk Abstract:

Visual design can seem daunting and can often be gatekept as something “you’re just born with” but in reality it's something that can be taught. As we move into a future of more iterative and fast-pace processes, being able to communicate and improve web developer and designer collaboration is key.

In this talk, I flip the question “should designers learn to code?” and instead answer the question “why should developers learn about design?”, diving into the advantages of learning UX design and visual design basics to make you a better developer and team member and level up your career.
