Get hands-on experience with tools and techniques you'll need to successfully work with developers

How do our designs turn into LIVE apps and websites?
“Coding” is the simple answer, but there’s a lot more to it than that.

As UX designers, we’re collaborating and communicating with developers to bring our apps and websites to life all the time.

Lack of experience can lead to missing deadlines, going over budget, and creating a product that doesn’t provide a good experience for users.

In this live stream UX workshop, you’ll learn the tools, process, and skills involved in developer hand-off that are essential to a smooth transition from design files to a live product.

Developers are our friends, let’s learn how to work together to design, build, and launch awesome products!

Reviews and Compliments

Here's what other designers had to say about this workshop

"I have read a lot of articles (and watched a lot of videos) trying to understand developer hand-off and collaboration, but this is the first time it really clicked for me. I feel so much better that it's not some big mystery anymore 😂 ."

"Developer hand-off has always been a little bit scary for me, since I didn't have a ton of experience with it. I feel so much more confident after this workshop...definitely feeling better about doing this on the job."

"Great workshop that gave me a feeling of having real-world experience. The group chats, talking to peers, and sketching was great."

Awesome Project!
