    When resolving design conflicts with developers, I’ve found that building a collaborative relationship early on is essential. Involving developers during the initial design phase helps uncover potential technical challenges before they become roadblocks. I also use prototypes or simple mockups to visually explain design ideas, which makes it easier to find compromises that work for both sides. Additionally, I encourage brainstorming sessions where both designers and developers can share ideas and propose solutions together. This helps create a sense of shared ownership over the final product and makes resolving conflicts smoother.

    I handle design conflicts in cross-platform UX by aligning the team on shared goals and clear guidelines. We establish a unified design system, specifying essential elements like color palettes, typography, and layouts. Early conversations with developers help me understand technical constraints and adapt design choices accordingly. Regular check-ins and collaborative prototyping sessions keep everyone on the same page. Testing on multiple platforms ensures we catch inconsistencies before launch. By combining open communication, well-documented standards, and joint problem-solving, I resolve conflicts swiftly and maintain a cohesive user experience across all devices.

    In my team, we resolved the problem by using the same measurement. We convert any sizing measurement to rem instead of px. It bring consistency to our product especially in web platform. We also create many reusable component and agree with one design guideline that we developed in our design system. It makes the UI stable enough, even in some updates it don't need a high fidelity design to implement the update. Also do a meeting when the design team decide to update the reusable component and the design system is very important. It helps us to keep the UI consistency between the design and the actual deployed UI.
