Past Talks
In this talk, Anna “Spyke” Spyker (Software Engineer) and Ella Moran (Product Designer) share how they established Design Engineering at Tracksuit — a new way of working that enables product designers (and PMs) to safely ship front-end code to production.
What began as UI polish after a release quickly evolved into designers independently shipping full features, using AI, clear guardrails, and standard engineering review. Ella and Anna will walk through how the workflow evolved, what surprised them along the way, and why designers are uniquely well-positioned to describe and deliver front-end work.
They’ll also dig into the open questions this raised for the team — from ownership and review, to whether Figma is still the right starting point.
A practical look at how design and engineering can move faster together, without sacrificing quality.
