My Design Process
Curious how I approach design challenges? Let's break down the typical process I follow, inspired by the 5 (cyclical) stages of design thinking.
Gather information
It's important for me to understand the space that I'm working in. To get my bearings, I may conduct audience interviews, study competitors, and/or create personas.
Define what’s needed
Before diving into design, it's important to understand the root of the problem I'm solving, why (and how much) it matters, and what we're hoping to accomplish.
Brainstorm solutions
Next, I'll move onto the ideation and rough draft stage. This could include things like hand-drawn sketches, sitemaps, wireframes, and/or low-fidelity prototypes.
Design and build
I love collaborating throughout this part of the process! I check-in often while I work to make sure that I stay on track to building the best solution.
Analyze and refine
Every opportunity to gather feedback is an opportunity to get better. I'm always happy to track data/analytics or test usability to continually improve my contributions.
