Working Smoothly with Developers

Good design needs solid execution. I collaborate closely with developers to ensure designs are built accurately, balancing usability with performance to create products that work as well as they look.

The product was initially built without a designer, and in many cases, developers had difficulty with UI clarity. While the features functioned correctly, they often weren't intuitive or easy to use.
The backend data was available, but not always defined in a way that made it clear or usable for the front-end. This created gaps in the user experience.
In some situations, the app's menu and routing structure needed to change to help users better understand key features.
This kind of setup can make it difficult for designers—especially those without development skills—to improve the overall experience or implement their ideas effectively.

With my front-end skills, I took the time to understand how the backend worked—reading documentation and communicating regularly with developers. This helped me design solutions that were both effective and feasible.
Whenever the business needed to introduce a new feature, I made sure my design decisions respected the developer's workload. I considered what was realistic to build, so we could move forward without slowing things down.

I learned that backend flexibility often comes down to how variables are handled. If we can access, calculate, and display them well, we can design around almost anything.
By diving into how things worked behind the scenes, I was able to suggest improvements that also made the backend simpler and easier to maintain—resulting in a smoother collaboration and a better product.
