"The build looks nothing like the design" is almost always a handoff problem, not a talent one.
The whole handoff:
Pull design tokens into code — color/type/spacing → inherit the system, don't eyeball it.
Reusable components, not one-off screens — a button is the button everywhere.
Match every state — hover / focus / empty / error / loading / long strings / no data.
Review the build against the file — side by side, not "close enough."
The design was the promise. The handoff is where you keep it.
