Flutter has published an article by L+R’s Director of Engineering, Ivan Leider, exploring how designers and developers can collaborate more effectively using Flutter. The piece highlights L+R’s design-led development approach, detailing how Flutter’s flexible framework, pre-built widgets, and animation tools enabled the seamless creation of the Global Citizen app.
At L+R, our teams work closely to bridge the gap between design and development, ensuring that digital products are both visually compelling and highly functional. The article discusses how establishing a strong design system in Figma helps streamline the development process, making it easier to translate user interface components into Flutter’s widget-based architecture.
“Flutter gives our developers the flexibility to bring custom designs to life while maintaining a smooth workflow with our design team,” said Ivan Leider. “It’s great to share our experience with the broader Flutter community.”
The article also explores the benefits of using Flutter’s hot reload feature to improve iteration speed, how to optimize UI components for both iOS and Android, and best practices for maintaining design consistency throughout an app’s lifecycle.
