Engineering led design
summary
Engineering-led design outlines five concrete behaviours that reduce rework and surface hidden assumptions early: context together (everyone joins discovery and engineers attend user research), create a dictionary (project glossary in Notion that becomes a living source‑of‑truth for schema and design system), teach as you work (30‑minute whiteboard tutorials — e.g., spatial localisation and basic graph theory for a medical annotation UI). These practices make designs align with data models, catch schema gaps before build, and speed decisions.
