My Process
What, Who, & Why
Good designs start with questions. What is the product or experience? What challenges is it facing from a business or user direction? Who uses the experience? Who is most important in the behaviors or tasks at hand? Why are they having difficulty? Is there an end goal or purpose in mind?
Identify, Intuit, Iterate
You have to understand the people behind the experience before you can design for them. Design is about visual storytelling, and without that emotional connection work becomes soulless and devoid of meaning. Emphasizing with your people gives rise to many great ideas, and many (many) sketches.
Back It Up With Research
The best measurement of success is when something works, is elegant, and emotionally resonates with the users. Let's prove it with numbers (or likes, or purchases), and work behind the scenes to make things better.
