I am fascinated about user experience and design thinking as this non-linear and iterative process enables a greater understanding of users, reveals valuable insights and leads to the formation of innovative solutions.
When working on projects I apply strong understanding of the design thinking process to ensure the workflow focuses on user needs. The process involves deconstructing the brief from the client, researching and defining problems, empathising with the users involved, ideation within a team, prototyping and testing.
Each of the icons provide a description of strategies and methods used at each stage of the design process.
Contextual Inquiry - Research exisiting applications and collect qualitative and quantitative data.
Based on the research identify, analyse and empathise with the users feelings, experiences and needs.
Contextual Analysis - Identification of insights using affinity diagrams, create user stories, establish personas and create wireframes.
Create prototypes based on the research collected during the contextual inquiry and analysis.
Usability test each fidelity of the prototypes. Analsye then re-establish requirements, identify problems and propose improvements.
User testing and evaluation is completed and the prototype meets the requirements of the client and the needs of the users.
