My Design Process
A human-centered approach to solving design challenges through research, collaboration, and iteration.
Discovery & Research
Understanding the problem space through user interviews, competitive analysis, and stakeholder alignment. I gather insights to inform design decisions.
Define & Ideate
Synthesizing research findings into actionable insights. Creating user personas, journey maps, and brainstorming solutions.
Design & Prototype
Translating ideas into tangible designs. Depending on the situation, I choose one of two routes: Leverage AI (Github Co-pilot) to create functional prototypes to get an immediate feel for ideas, or spend time in design tools like Figma when precision and fidelity is a critical consideration. In either scenario, a component library is critical.
Test & Iterate
Validating designs with real users. Gathering feedback, identifying pain points, and refining the solution iteratively.
Deliver & Measure
Collaborating with developers for implementation. Tracking metrics post-launch to measure impact and identify improvements.
Flexible & Collaborative
While I follow this general framework, I adapt my process based on project needs, team dynamics, and timeline constraints. The key is maintaining flexibility while staying user-focused.
