About this EventDesign doesn’t exist in isolation. In all work settings, designers work alongside product owners, developers, marketing, bosses, you name it. Unfortunately, there’s still a misconception that design is something that can be sprinkled on at the end rather than embraced as a process and mindset during the product life cycle. Designers will face challenges like handing over designs and getting your stakeholders and team members to believe in the same vision. However, it’s not always easy when you’re not speaking the same language (developers, anyone?) or when others don’t see the value of design.If you’re a designer struggling to hand over your designs to a developer or someone trying to convince others (or yourself) of the value of design, then join us for Stampede Makers #2 on 20th April (Saturday) at 9.30am at WORQ TTDI at Glo Mall.Come if you’re asking yourself these questions: How do I collaborate effectively with developers OR designers? How do I hand over my designs to a developer? Do I need to code? What is good design and how does it bring value to business and technology? How do I convince stakeholders and get their design buy in? How do I communicate the value I bring to the company and make design a larger part of the whole process?
