Design Process
This six-step process maps out how I approach design problems and leverage user insights and cross-team collaboration to fuel iterative improvement.
step 1
Identify the Problem
Isolate the critical issue(s) by dissecting user pain points and initial observations.
step 2
Understand the Scope
Assess the user needs, business objectives, and technical constraints to frame the design challenge.
step 3
Design Solutions
Ideate solutions to resolve immediate user needs while staying true to the overarching product vision.
step 4
Collaborate with Team
Work closely with business and technical teams to align design solutions with overarching goals.
step 5
Gather Feedback
Conduct user testing and gather feedback in cycles, refining the design until it meets predefined acceptance criteria.
step 6
Analyze and Iterate
Implement the final design, measure its impact through key metrics, and continuously refine for an optimal user experience.
I am currently the lead designer for the Ask Tool feature at ReviewTrackers, where our product team utilizes the Product Triad model. The triad consists of UX, product management (PM), and engineering. This framework allows me to actively collaborate across these disciplines and play an active role in shaping our product. As the lead designer, I focus on creating experiences that harmonize user needs, business goals, and technical limitations.
What excites me about design is being able to work at the crossroads of art, engineering, business, and psychology. This crossroads allows my love for creativity and critical thinking to unite, empowering me to design digital experiences that are both thoughtful and practical.
My path to product design hasn't been a straight line, but I am, oh, so grateful to be doing what I love. I truly wake up every day excited to solve problems through beautiful & data-driven designs and, of course, consume an exorbitant amount of coffee.
