Design in material you ship, not in pictures of it
It gives you language to push your team toward designing in code and real data instead of static files that hide edge cases until too late.

Pick one screen you're currently designing in a static file and rebuild it in real code with real data for 15 minutes, noting what breaks that the mockup hid.
