summary
Argues that eliminating handovers requires concrete practices not pep talks: opens Figma files early, reads Hotjar recordings with developers, and ships a design system only when components are unified (one “main” button currently exists in ~10 variants). Describes a real change: three designers across five product areas coordinate naming in code and Figma, adopt passwordless login via BankID, and cut support calls. Claims design is done by the whole team, with trust, shared language, and constant conversation.
