Bridging the Divide: Tools and Tricks for Designer-Developer Harmony
The rise of AI tools like Figma Make AI and powerful WordPress site builders that respond to prompts is fundamentally changing the way we create. This talk will go beyond traditional collaboration tips to address the big question on everyone’s mind: Are designers and developers still needed when everybody can generate a page with a few prompts?
We’ll explore how these tools change the designer-developer collaboration, what new skills are needed for both roles, and how to effectively collaborate in a world where AI handles the rote tasks. You’ll leave with a new perspective on your value, practical strategies for working with these tools, and a clear understanding of the evolving partnership between design and development.
