Design Process

Research first, design second

My process is rooted in understanding users before touching Figma. Every decision is traceable to data, not intuition alone.

01
Empathise
User research & interviews, stakeholder meetings, heuristic audits, and analytics review to deeply understand users and frame the real problem.
02
Define
Affinity mapping, personas, JTBD, and journey maps to align teams on what problem is worth solving and for whom.
03
Ideate
Brainstorming, concept sketching, IA and user flows to explore a wide solution space before committing to a design direction.
04
Prototype
Wireframes to high-fidelity prototypes in Figma — design systems, responsive layouts, and interaction specs ready for dev handoff.
05
Test
Usability testing, A/B experiments, post-launch analytics, and iteration cycles to validate decisions and continuously improve.
