Process

Process

1. Discovery & Research

We begin by understanding your project's goals, target audience, and competitive landscape. This includes thorough research and gathering insights to inform the design strategy.

2. Strategy & Planning

Based on the insights, I develop a design strategy that aligns with your business objectives. This includes defining the scope, creating user personas, and mapping out user journeys to ensure a focused approach.

3. Wireframing & Prototyping

I create wireframes and interactive prototypes to visualize the structure and flow of the application. This step allows for early feedback and iterations to ensure the design meets user needs and business goals.

4. Design System & Component Creation

I develop a scalable design system tailored to your project’s framework (e.g., Tailwind). This system includes reusable components, design tokens, and guidelines to ensure consistency and efficiency in the design process.

5. UI/UX Design

I craft high-fidelity designs that bring the wireframes to life, focusing on creating intuitive, visually appealing interfaces. The design is optimized for both mobile and PC platforms, ensuring a seamless user experience across devices.

6. Collaboration & Handoff

Once the design is finalized, I work closely with your development team to ensure a smooth handoff. The design assets are meticulously organized and documented, leading to a 70% improvement in handoff efficiency.

7. Testing & Iteration

I collaborate on testing the design in real-world scenarios, gathering feedback, and making necessary adjustments. This iterative process ensures the final product is both functional and user-friendly.

8. Launch & Post-Launch Support

After the launch, I provide ongoing support to address any design-related issues and make improvements based on user feedback, ensuring your product remains effective and relevant.
