My dear designer... with love... your developer

My dear designer... with love... your developer

John Keats was an English Romantic poet and in one of his most famous letters, he tells next door neighbor Fanny Brawne he cannot live without her (1819): "My love has made me selfish. I cannot exist without you - I am forgetful of every thing but seeing you again."

This hidden love between developers and designers really exists and we must take advantage of it in order to design and develop great products.

Jump onboard in this journey and let's explore this charming relationship, based on real use cases and experiences for creating awesome product features and functionalities.
