No one says it aloud, but let it ring true, I am nothing without you. Designers and engineers are truly the heart and soul of the user experience. Let’s bring the best of each other out through communication, collaboration and embracing our common goals. A casual discussion on working together.

This talk is not about design: I am not going to talk about how to be a designer, design patterns or philosophies. It’s about people.
Compliment each other perfectly. Power + value of the relation ship is unique!We make a great team.
We are like Yin + YangTogether we make “Practical Magic”A working prototype or software is essential for design. Wireframes + comps are nothing without a working test. We can fail smartly together before it reaches users.
Engineers help define boundariesWhich are a great ingredient for UXFrom constraints the most innovative solutions occur
We are makers, builders, doersUnited we are more flexible and ready for changeWe are faster problem solvers togetherWe make iterative solutionsAll in all : we cut through all the BS
These four things make us a great UXBoth design and engineering together create thisNot one alone
We are closest to the productWe have the most influence over what get’s shippedDon’t loose sight of this! Gain confidence from it, a sense of ownership, purpose and control.
Guild relationships, as a team and individuallyThe powers of teams are amazing
Purpose drives teamsInspiration fuels teammatesKeep the momentum going by inspiring your teammatesInspiration may evolveYou have a say in crafting what the teams common goal is!
Look at problems togetherFind a common language to speakBe flexible, ready for changeNo such thing a perfect, ever!
Transparency + dialogue make people feel a part of it allSilloued decisions lead to repeat work + tension on the teamDesign + engineering together have a more powerful voice than alone
Everyone participates in the decision Feel empowered to speak up Disagreement is healthy and productiveAsk a lot of questions!
Powerful team respect dynamic rolesHolistic design and development come from many voices and talentsKnow what you’re good at and learn more!
Don’t settle for being at the bottom of the funnel, We are the owners, know it, feel itWe work for our users
A team is only as good as the sum of its partsCelebrate individual talents and successesEveryone on the team matters
In summary, UX loves engineeringTogether we are able to build, iterate, evolve, grow …and get shit done that no one else can.OPEN FOR DIAOLOGUE
