Designers try to look at the world freshly, noticing new things, and seeking inspiration. Here is where Market Research, User Research, and Planning and Initial Design come in.
This is the definition stage, where designers try to make sense of all the possibilities identified in the Discover phase. The goal is to develop a clear creative brief that frames the fundamental design challenge to the organization. I consider Project Development, Project Management, and Project Completion timeframes.
Next, I develop solutions, prototype, test, and iterate. Trial and error help designers to improve and refine their ideas. Brainstorming, prototyping, visual management, and development methods are tested.
The delivery stage is where the product is finalized and launched. Here, I do our final testing, approval, launch, and evaluate feedback.
Modern web development requires us to focus on simple processes to give our users what they want - a simple, seamless experience on computers and devices. My mission is to bring my clients the best solutions for their service or product, backed with an ongoing relationship to ensure any website or app is built with integrity and work in real-world scenarios.
I create artboards for each page to view concepts from phones through large desktops to find the right layout for a website. All layouts are built using a responsive grid system to allow for an aligned, balanced, seamless experience.
I focus on style, colors, typography, iconography, imagery, spacing, etc. which are all used to create our clients' unique space.
All websites are built responsively with a focus on standards and optimization while working with Google Analytics and Developer tools. I also use other tools to ensure ranking and performance because we expect total satisfaction and success for my clients.
