Today, design needs to tell a story, and because of this, it is especially important for us as web designers to work and collaborate with not just other designers, but also developers, to understand how our design can tell better stories. Gathering unknown insights into problems is key to push boundaries and change the ways that we interact with technologies.
In this talk, I aim to highlight a few ways in which designers and developers can establish a good foundation to tell better stories through their craft, and by working together as interdisciplinary teams.

discipline, but you can put an awful lot into it.
- Adam Smith, Knifemaker
