Good design starts before the first screen is designed.
One thing Ive learned from working on different UI/UX projects is that jumping straight into Figma screens isnt always the best approach.
Before designing anything, I like to understand how users will actually move through the product.
Thats where user flows come in.
They help me see the bigger picture, identify confusing steps, and figure out where users might get stuck.
A simple user flow can save hours of redesigning later. It also makes conversations with developers and stakeholders much easier because everyone understands how the product should work.
For me, UI is what users see. UX is how they get things done.And a good user flow connects the two.
Im curious do you usually start with user flows, wireframes, or jump straight into UI design?
