My design approach
Here’s an overview of how I approach product design through various stages of product development, offering UX/Product design for B2B/B2C SaaS applications.
UX strategy
Creating policies, principles and plan of action to help business and users win their goals amidst competition.
Research
Understand the users, their needs, behaviours, and pain points. This involve user interviews, surveys, market analysis, and reviewing existing data.
Problem definition
Clearly define the problem we’re trying to solve. This often involves creating user personas, user stories, and job statements based on the research findings.
Ideation
Generate a wide range of ideas and potential solutions. Techniques like brainstorming, sketching, and ideation workshops are commonly used in this phase.
Interaction design
Generating user flows, information architecture, and low- to high-fidelity wireframes to create an end-to-end product experience.
Visual design
Designing the visual layer, Design Language System (DLS), and visual components while adhering to brand guidelines, accessibility standards, and responsiveness.
Prototyping
I create a rapid prototype of the product, incorporating functional navigation, user flows, and essential interactions to materialise ideas for testing and evaluating with users, in order to build upon and iterate.
Design validation
Conduct usability testing with real users to gather feedback on the prototypes. Consequently, this step is crucial for validating assumptions, comprehending user interactions, and identifying areas for improvement.
Quality assurance and accessibility compliance
Ensuring quality and meeting accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1, 2.2, AA / AAA), including tone, messaging, and consistency with other product areas, is crucial for creating a standardised and inclusive user experience.
