Design-to-Development Handoff

Why Handoffs Fail (And How We Fix It)

Lost in Translation → We provide developer-friendly specs with zero ambiguity Inconsistent

Implementation → Design tokens and auto-generated code snippets

Version Chaos → Single source of truth with change tracking

Our Handoff Process

1. Pre-Handoff Audit

• Design system consistency check
• Accessibility compliance review
• Edge case documentation

2. Developer-Centric Packaging

• Auto-extracted design tokens (colors, spacing, typography)
• Responsive behavior annotations
• Interaction state flowcharts

3. Post-Handoff Support

• Engineering Q&A sessions
• Implementation health checks
• Design QA during development

What Developers Receive

Ready-to-Code Packages

• Style dictionary (JSON/YAML)
• Component API documentation
• Lottie animation JSON files

Precision Guidance

• Pixel-perfect spacing specs
• Breakpoint-specific rules
• Motion curve parameters

Platform-Specific Outputs

• SwiftUI modifiers for iOS
• Jetpack Compose for Android
• CSS-in-JS for web frameworks

Tools We Use

Task	Tool Stack
Design Tokens	Figma → Style Dictionary → GitHub
Documentation	Zeroheight + Storybook
Motion Handoff	After Effects → Lottie
Version Control	Abstract + GitHub integration
