Raise your hand if you have a working design system in Figma, but your UI design handoffs are fumbled or communication between your teams is sometimes hazy?

Don't worry, we can help!
In this discussion, Billy Sweetman, Head of Design at Headway will share the best practices and approach the Headway design team has created to make the app design and development process better.

High performing product teams develop a design system process to build effective communication and keep all teams aware of what items are being added to the system. Working with developers doesn't have to be a complicated process. With proper design system documentation, the app design and development process will become less stressful for everyone involved in the project.
