The importance of aligning development with design, especially in the hand-off phase. Designs don’t always necessary speak for themselves. Try to move away from your design software and bring your designs into designated places, where they are accessible and manageable by non-designers.

Setting up a design system is like building Jenga in reverse. Make mistakes in your foundation, and you’ll have an unstable structure throughout the process. Learn from others, don’t try to do everything from scratch, and use proven ways-of-work to minimize overhead on system maintenance.
