Navigating engineering-focused environments
Session Abstract
How can designers navigate in engineering-focused environments? This panel explores approaches for integrating UX into developer workflows and showcasing how design contributions are valuable assets for greater impact in engineering circles.
Session Description
Open source often thrives on engineering-driven processes, where feedback loops, tools, and contributions are tailored to developers. But where does design fit in? This panel brings designers and engineers together to discuss how UX practices can be embedded in engineering workflows, from using GitHub as a design collaboration tool to framing design contributions in ways developers can get value from.
Our panelists will share success stories and lessons from bridging design and engineering in open source. Their experiences as designers and engineers will bring different perspectives to uncover strategies and patterns for making design more visible and impactful in developer-focused environments. They will highlight what worked, what didn’t, and how their approaches evolved across projects and communities.
Attendees will take away ideas for embedding design into engineering-focused environments, and inspiration from projects where cross-disciplinary collaboration has led to better user experiences and stronger collaboration.
