MY DESIGN PROCESS
MY DESIGN PROCESS
I believe a strong product experience goes beyond beautiful screens. Without intention, interfaces become noisy, confusing and easy to abandon.
My work is about creating clarity, shaping digital experiences that feel deliberate, calm, and easy to use.
Step 1 • Framing
Key question: What problem is actually worth solving? Before design begins, I shape the question. I align on what outcome needs to change, whose problem we’re solving, and why it matters now. By clarifying goals, context, constraints, and trade-offs early, I ensure the work is focused on the right problem, not just a well-designed solution to the wrong one.
Step 2 • Research
Key question: What do I need to learn to decide with confidence? Research helps replace assumptions with understanding. I focus on real user behavior, mental models, and existing signals to uncover where friction exists and why. The goal isn’t more data, it’s clarity that informs meaningful decisions and reduces uncertainty moving forward.
Step 3 • Exploration
Key question: Which approach best serves the problem defined? Insights turn into direction through exploration. I test structures, flows, and interaction models at low fidelity, comparing multiple approaches before committing. This stage is about resolving complexity early, weighing trade-offs, and choosing a direction grounded in intent rather than aesthetics.
Step 4 • Execution
Key question: How should this come together in a way that scales and lasts? Execution is where decisions become precise. I refine hierarchy, interactions, and visual language to ensure clarity, consistency, and usability across the experience. Every detail is evaluated against purpose, scalability, and real-world use so the product feels calm, coherent, and reliable.
Step 5 • Validation
Key question: Did this actually move what mattered? Once in use, design becomes a learning practice. I observe real behavior, review outcomes, and identify where refinement is needed. Iteration is deliberate, guided by evidence rather than instinct, ensuring the product continues to improve and remains aligned with real user and business needs.

CASE STUDIES
These case studies show how I lead the creation of intuitive, visually compelling experiences, translating concepts into wireframes and high-fidelity designs while aligning decisions with project goals and user needs.
This spans a fully interactive website and core operational screens. The work combines UX research, interaction design, UI, motion, and illustration to create a clear, engaging experience from first entry through day-to-day use.
A clean, efficient online store combining clean UI, UX best practices, and immersive interaction and animation to support a fast, engaging path to purchase.
