My Method
What makes me tick
How Might We...
When I begin a project, I follow a Design Thinking Process which allows me to use Empathy and Creativity to create Human-Centered Goals. From my research, I design Solutions, develop Prototypes, and validate with User-Testing.
Meathodology...
I use the Design Sprint meathod, which allows me to create solutions through rapid prototyping and user testing in six steps...
1. Research
First, we empathize with our users and work to fully understand their problems and goals.
2. Sketch & Wireframe
Based on our research, we then begin to ideate solutions and create sketches and wireframes.
3. Decide & Design
Once sketches and wireframes are complete, ideas are chosen to be designed first, and a design system is created
4. Prototype
A prototype is made of the ideated solution. This is a fast and low cost way to test ideas.
5. Test & Validate
Users then test the prototype and provide feedback on the effectiveness of the solution.
6. Hand-off for development & Recap
After feedback has been gathered, the data from previous steps are reviewed, next steps are discussed and the prototype is handed off to the developers. We then go back to step one for the next phase.
