User Problem

I start by asking: who is the user and what pain are they feeling? Through interviews, competitor analysis, and observing existing workflows, I define the core frustration before touching any design tool.

User Interviews Pain Point Map Competitor Audit User Personas

Ideation

With the problem clearly defined, I generate ideas through sketching, crazy-eights, and collaborative brainstorming. I explore multiple directions before narrowing based on feasibility and user impact.

Wireframe

Lo-fi wireframes in Figma map out information architecture and screen flows without the distraction of color or imagery. This is where structural decisions are validated with stakeholders cheaply and quickly.

Final Interface

Hi-fi mockups apply the design system: brand colors, typography, spacing tokens, and interactive states. I build reusable component libraries and hand off annotated specs for pixel-perfect implementation.
