Skills that pay the bills.
UX
User research, understanding people and defining solutions.
My approach involves conducting background research, interviews, competitive analysis, and utilizing affinity diagramming techniques. By employing these methods, I ensure that my study is effective and holistic, providing valuable insights that inform the development of impactful solutions.
Understanding users is essential for effective, human-centred solutions. I employ empathy mapping, persona creation, and user flows to gain insights. Iteration is key in continuously improving designs based on user feedback and collaboration in team environments.
Furthermore, I utilise card sorting, storyboarding, and slide decks to facilitate the ideation, development, and exploration of ideas and concepts when reviewing, explaining, and collaborating on solutions.
UI
Wireframing, prototyping and Atomic design.
I produce solutions by progressing from low-fidelity to high-fidelity designs, with a keen focus on composition, color theory, typography, and page structure.
I consistently refer to user flows and the defined problem throughout this process to ensure alignment and effectiveness. Drawing upon my background in graphic design and illustration, I leverage color theory to develop and adhere to UI style guides, bringing wireframes to life.
Moreover, my understanding of Atomic design principles empowers me to develop cohesive systems and structures for product elements, ensuring a seamless and efficient user experience. By applying Atomic design, I create a clear vision that guides developers and stakeholders towards the best possible outcome.
Design
Branding, print, packaging and illustration.
I excel in branding through interviewing, research, and ideation, creating visually strong brand identities that align with client-defined objectives.
My skills extend to poster design, packaging and box design, POS, flyers, brochures, catalogs, and other white papers. Illustration is where I began my creative journey, and I take great pleasure in employing this skill to personalize solutions whenever appropriate.
