Every project is different but will follow a basic process
The first step is to define the general requirements for the project, discover the issue and research results. Then comes the ideation phase, the one I love the most, where we propose solutions. We translate them into a prototype and test, iterate and test again…
Design principles
Empathy
I like to build with the user in mind at all times. If I can empathize, then I can advocate for a solution that people actually need.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness and intentionality go hand in hand. At every step of the process, I am mindful that I’m still solving the right problem and ensure all design decisions are deliberate.
Experimentation
Design is testing. I think testing out designs and getting feedback is the most rewarding, validating and humbling part of design. Nothing gets my blood pumping like doing usability tests or seeing results of tests in the morning.
Aesthetics
I adore visual design. Creating high fidelity prototypes and designs is my happy place and brings me a lot of joy. I tend to express this love though building design systems.
