About the talk
Design and copy are two sides of the same coin. You can’t really have one without the other. When designers and writers work closely as partners, the result is better—more cohesive, more impactful—with a more efficient process. In this conversation, Andrea and Maria will tackle some tough topics and offer best practices that you can immediately put into practice on your own design team.

View the profileHello and welcome to design and copy as a partnership. Hello, my name is Maria Gonzalez. And I'm at design lead at slack. My pronouns, are she her? And I most used emojis, are the dancing ones, like the dancing panda and the Corgi and my beer at the dancing. Meet. Hi, I'm Andrea Drew gay and I meant Lynch, the copy team at slack. My pronouns. Are she hurt? And my most-used emoji is the raised hands. I love the reason, it always makes me feel good. When I are coming partner in a project share the latest designer copy enough, slack channel, in a
stakeholder response with the rage hands Emoji. It makes me think that the designer coffee is perfect and there's no feedback, but we know there's always feedback one time after a stakeholder Revere. We posted him slack to the project Channel. What we had shared in the presentation and we got a bunch of emojis. So we got super excited. We thought we were finally done and can move into development and Engineering the next day. However, there was a meeting with our calendars to discuss design and copy Direction. Turns out we have to start over again. So praise hands Emoji was a bit this
evening right there. Oh, no, it's a wild story. But I hear you. You know, I worked on a project once we're there were two writers who were working on two separate projects that both had the same name, these teams were each building out different features that were unrelated. But each team had come up with the same name. Fortunately. We caught it in time to make changes and the two features didn't ship with the same name. But what's interesting is that we caught it because the designer is in the writers were working so closely across
