Everyone on a product team is working together to make one thing: real software in the hands of their users. Design mocks are simply a communication tool in service of this shared goal. But the way a typical design file is structured does not set the team up for success. In fact, they result in unnecessary cycles of work for the whole product team. In this talk, John walks us through how and why design files should mirror how the design will be implemented.
