Teamwork and workflow

They stand with a clipboard. Taking notes on design process. They look at a website, laptop, and smartphone.

1. Understand

I collaborate to gain knowledge of users, context, technologies, gather user data, research competitors, conduct interviews and survey's.

2. Interpret

I use gathered data and specify user requirements by building user profiles, produce site maps, user flows, navigation models, task flows.

3. Prototype

Wireframes, establish flows, focus on navigation structure. Refine hierarchy and information architecture. Evaluate with team, experts, and stakeholders.

4. Test

I evaluate design solutions though usability testing and the user’s needs. I facilitate survey's and testing with my team, stakeholders, end users, and through user recruitment.

5. Design

Iterate from learnings and working in a team to create a UI style guide, I adapt design systems to create high-fidelity prototypes and deliverables to team members and stakeholders.

6. Refine

Evaluate design with stakeholders to obtain feedback and conduct usability testing. Participate in retrospectives. Provide actionable glow and grows feedback to peers.

What good design is all about

Function over form
Above all else, my aim is to make products useful. This in itself will make them more aesthetically pleasing, and ensure they are long-lasting. To do so, I make sure that users can get around the interface to achieve their end goal.
Empathy is key
Designers shouldn’t design for themselves, but for the user. I don’t assume what users want or need but take the time to understand them and empathize with them with the help of thorough user research and testing.
Less is more
Simple is beautiful. User interfaces shouldn’t contain anything that doesn’t have a purpose. To keep UI uncluttered, I always start with basic wireframes and build them up with components that will bring value to the product.

Functionality is a key reason why users choose one service over another.
