My Design Process
Mine is not as rigid, but rather an evolving process as I learn from new experiences. User experience design is much more than what meets the eye. One of my strongest skills is to collaborate with my team on all aspects of crafting the experience.
Discover & Strategize
This step is where I get my hands dirty the most. Dive deep into the problem, and try to understand the users' and the business needs and goals as much as possible. While you are at it, understand the competitive landscape and the market to the fullest extent.
Ideate
This is my favorite phase in the design process! In this creative phase, explore a wide array of ideas and solutions. Sketch, and create wireframes, and build prototypes to solve your key user & business issues.
Deliver & Evaluate
Measure
Now evaluate your solutions and gather feedback from users and other product stakeholders. Don't forget to use all that good feedback you got while iterating on your designs.
The process doesn't end with the launch; it's ongoing. Utilize metrics and data to iterate and enhance the product, refining its performance continually.
Take a peak at my life

I love to experience art in as many forms as possible!
Ask me to bring appetizers for dinner parties and I will make sure they are not only tasty but cute as heck :)

Antique stuff inspires me a lot as a designer
