My design process
Culmination of my learnings over the years, my process of thinking design is always evolving.
Dig deep and uncover. Whether it's quantitative or qualitative information, I scout until I can define/re-fine the problem clearly.
Bind it together for all. Simplifying the problem and communicating clearly is key to collaborate and build together.
Iterate and innovate. Quick iterations and soliciting feedback helps me to zoom through perspectives until something seems right.
Design for scale. Prioritising scalable designs helps not only users but also businesses to create long term impact.
Measure and adapt. I believe solutions should evolve with users and we should always measure and improve them.
Have a curious mind. Exploring and learning new things inspires in amazing ways. Curiosity fosters innovation.
