When I worked as a visual designer in Cisco WebEx online marketing CXD team, I participated in responsive webpage design across the whole site of www.webex.com Ciscospark.com. I worked very closely with other designers, content strategist and front end developers through visual design and actual production.
Visual Designer embeded in Marketing UX team
Aug 2015 to Sep 2016
Designed responsive images, layouts for Desktop, Tablet and mobile. Specs were manually generated at that time to communicate spacing, typography, color, etc to front end developers.

Both Cisco WebEx and Cisco Spark marketing sites are based on a content management system called AEM(Adobe Experience Manager).

Most times we had to work within existing components to make the layout work.
