Models instead of high‑fidelity UI designs
summary
The talk challenges reliance on high-fidelity UI prototypes and argues that detailed screen-by-screen designs can be redundant and slow. It presents using Figma component libraries, code-backed design systems, and dynamic UI models as an alternative, covering why high-fidelity can be problematic, the benefits of lightweight modeling for collaboration and adaptability, a checklist of elements for effective UI models (documentation, standard UI libraries), and real-world examples of faster, more efficient outcomes.
