How I work

Every product starts as a business problem, not a screen. The interface is the last step, not the first.

  1. 01

    Problem

    Understand what the business is actually trying to solve.

  2. 02

    Research

    Talk to users, map context, validate assumptions.

  3. 03

    Strategy

    Define the MVP and what matters first.

  4. 04

    IA & flows

    Structure the product before styling it.

  5. 05

    Wireframes

    Test structure and logic at low fidelity.

  6. 06

    UI design

    Apply visual system, hierarchy, and brand.

  7. 07

    Prototyping

    Make interactions real before development.

  8. 08

    Handoff & iterate

    Document, ship, and refine with real usage.
