Frontend developer by day, iOS developer by night. Currently working on learning iOS development and my own blog, Mike Decodes, where I'm decoding the tech industry. Come hang out with me on Twitter!
I started out as a UX designer. Got a degree in it and everything. While obtaining my degree I figured out I really liked code as well, so I started doing it on the side. Then I started gaining some real world experience as a designer and quickly found there's a pretty sizeable gap between design and development.
Whether that's because of designers or developers is irrelevant, but the core of it is not understanding each other. Designers don't always know why something is or isn't possible and developers don't always know why a design has been designed the way it is.
I ended up becoming a developer to bridge that gap. To get design and development closer together to improve the products we're working on.
