Process

Coming from the classroom, I'm used to juggling the needs of many - working with the needs of the student, family, and school to achieve a common goal! Familiar?

When working with multiple parties, from users to stakeholders, I believe there is a solution for everyone!

  • 01

    Discover

    Brainstorming sessions in order to identify company goals and needs. Define the scope and objectives of the project, aligning the team thinking and work to encourage cohesion.

  • Empathize

    Get to know your users to understand their needs! This may look like conducting interviews for insight on user perspectives and task analysis for observing interactions whether physical or digital.


    Seek to understand, not to confirm!

    02

  • Define

    Identify users through personas and storytelling. Define the user experience to ensure that we solve cohesively. Who is this person?



    03

  • Ideate

    Draft, question, and test design concepts. Develop design patterns, elements, and options. Consult with developers to determine what falls in the scope of design.

    How will this design inform and impact users? What are the challenges for all parties in this project?


    04

  • Prototype

    Build tangible prototypes that serve your users' needs. Keep it simple and develop efficiently so that the product is clear and requires minimal training.


    When prototyping, prioritize and emphasis the solutions to the user and client pain points.

    05

  • Test

    With usability testing, determine areas of strengths and weaknesses. Consult with developers and other stakeholders throughout the process. Revisit areas to redesign and adjust according to the needs. Be open to challenges and feedback!


    06

  • Listen, Rinse, and Repeat

    Supported with feedback and research, revisit stages to adjust as needed before training and implementation. Keep the scope in mind to prioritize and focus on project limits.
