Front-End, UI / UX Engineering
User experience and user interface design are key components of the Revelry product development process. While UI / UX design is an ever-expansive (and ever-evolving) category, we rely on design thinking best practices and a unique Lean Agile process as we tackle all aspects of our front-end development work. Equally important: Our design engineers remain curious…always learning, questioning, and pushing into new territory.
Here, our team of front-end design engineers share some of their thoughts, ideas, and observations. Sign up for our monthly newsletter for more.
