Collaboration process between designers and developers has been long overdue for a revision. The current version of it, essentially built around designers handing off static images with annotations to engineers, is wasteful and inefficient. We will talk about how modern design tools that embrace web standards can revolutionize this process.

Developing for each platform individually is so 2010s. These days, with React Native’s component system providing base-level UI constructs, we can efficiently develop for every platform while not sacrificing any particular platform’s uniqueness. Taz will review the approach they’ve taken while developing Guild, and the creation of their Mondrian cross-platform responsive design system as well as how they’ve accommodated the differences in navigational experiences across platforms to accomplish a codebase that can be 95+% shared across every platform.
