To collaborate effectively with developers while focusing on accessible design and aesthetics, I prioritize clear communication and early involvement. I involve developers in the design process from the outset, sharing accessibility guidelines and discussing aesthetic choices to ensure feasibility. Regular check-ins facilitate feedback loops, allowing us to address potential challenges together. I also provide detailed design specifications and documentation, highlighting accessibility features to guide implementation. By fostering a collaborative environment and valuing their expertise, we can create a product that balances both accessibility and aesthetic appeal seamlessly.

Provide comprehensive design documentation that includes accessibility guidelines, color contrast ratios, typography choices, and component behavior. This helps developers understand the rationale behind design decisions.

I recommend engaging developers early and often. By involving them in the product design journey from the start, we can ensure alignment between the design and development teams, leading to a more cohesive and collaborative process with faster problem-solving.

The connection between Design and Development is fundamental for a great user experience. How I work on it: ?? Build a human connection. When you join a company, suggest a call with your frontend and a coffee with the QA or backend. ?? The UI beauty often depends on the design system. DS is in the first place the result of the frontend efforts. Start setting the DS ops proactively and be ready for iterations. ?? Explore the core of the development. When you work on a digital product there is no way you can't read code or know nothing about the tech debt. ?? Share your design vision with the developers. On all my products my engineering teammates have been genuinely interested in design. Just give them a seat at the table ??

- Go with data driven results before jumping into any arguments with devs. State solid reason based on practical experience - Set clear guidelines for respectful listening and open feedback. - Always respect everyone's perspective.
