Riccardo Pavesi - When Designers start coding and Developers start designing - NCW2025
Join Riccardo Pavesi, Tech Lead at Underdogs Group, as he tackles the age-old conflict between designers and developers with humor and practical insights. In this engaging presentation from No Code Week 2025, Riccardo explores how no-code tools can transform team dynamics and streamline workflows in creative and technical environments.
Discover:
Why the designer-developer tension exists and how no-code solutions can help both sides collaborate effectively
The importance of involving developers from the very beginning of projects rather than dropping completed designs on them
Why design systems, variables, components, and boilerplates are essential for team cohesion
How design and development tools are gradually converging in their features and interfaces
Riccardo's provocative prediction about the emergence of hybrid "dev-designers" who can bridge both worlds
This talk is perfect for agency teams, creative professionals, and anyone involved in digital product development who wants to improve collaboration between technical and design teams. With a lighthearted approach and practical wisdom, Riccardo demonstrates that the future isn't about getting rid of designers or developers—it's about creating new ways for them to work together seamlessly.
