Design Process
Although you can see the process in my case studies, I thought it would be useful to clearly outline my process here too. I also realize that each person and company has their own version of a design process, so I'm flexible when designing to incorporate the best process for the project.
The Steps
Research
Research
I seek to understand human needs and identify problems
Idea Generation
Brainstorming solutions that address those human needs
Information Architecture
Organizing information found in research and idea generation to create a hierarchy of information
Prototyping
Creating a simulation of my design to present to users
User Testing
Engaging target users to get their feedback
Revising and Iterating
I take into consideration user feedback to make necessary changes
Final Product
Presenting a workable final solution
