Design Process

1. Strategy

Before jumping into designing, I always make sure that we're asking the right questions and trying to solve the right challenges.

Competitive analysis
Interviews
Heuristic evaluations
Formulate hypothesis

2. Sketch

This is where we focus on the solutions. One approach is to diverge and converge with few exercises that emphasizes critical thinking.

Wireframing
Information architecture
Design sessions
Storyboards

4. Deliver or iterate

One of the the low fidelity idea will be turned into an interactive prototype, all we need is testing with the users to validate our assumptions.

Interactive Prototypes
Usability Testing
Experiment Design
Sketch, InVision...

3. Prototype

By now, you will know if this is potentially a good solution. Iterate or deliver it to the Engineering team for development.

High Fidelity Designs
Visual Design
Specs, Audits...
Or iterate
