Ask HN: What are your thoughts on pairing between Developers and Designers UX/UI
2 by petespeed | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Background: I work at typical shop with business team giving requirements and IT building web apps for them, and the end customers. There are few UX+UI folks (designers), but the developer to designer ratio is approx 50:1. The scope of designer's responsibility starts with ux research and ends at designing in sketch & invision. Some time ago we invested in making UI consistent across web apps and created our guidelines (styleguide + some more) mostly based on Brad Frost Atomic UI Design [0], and material ui components. It keeps evolving as new patterns emerge and we are trying to cover both static UI components and their behaviors, till bigger abstractions like page templates (Work in progress) Question: What should be the engagement model for designers in such situation? Should they pair like other developers (then we need to hire more), or should they work like architects, who invest more time with developers in the beginning, but as system patterns get settled, developers work on their own. What do you all see in your organizations? [0]: https://ift.tt/2WnUQT4
