About Me
-
Creative Design Process
Each client is unique so I employ an iterative and adaptable design process that fits within my client’s methodology whether it be lean, agile or scrum.
User Needs
- Survey the client
- Liaise with the engineers to understand the technical resources available
- Draft a scope to determine milestones that align with the goals and fit within the budget, deadline
Prototyping
- Determine the start, processing and end state for each action
- Build interactive prototypes for the client and engineers to demonstrate motion, feedback, state and context
UX Design
- Create user flows to determine how to complete each goal in the least amount of steps
- Break down the user flows into a system of interconnected components
- Develops wireframes based on the components
Testing
- Finalize assets for handover to engineers
- Ensure visuals are accessible, on-brand and within cultural boundaries
- Determine whether the visuals are adaptable at various sizes
