Whats my process like
Introductory call
The intro call is for us to get to know each other, as well as understand your business, project objectives, budget and timeline. During this call, I listen to your design needs to gather your requests at a high level to draft the project scope.
Contract review and sign-off
After our call, I will provide you with a contract outlining the detailed project scope and deliverables, timeline and budget for you to review, edit and approve. A further call may be scheduled if you or I have any clarifying questions.
Pre-sprint preparation
Before we kick off, we define the visual identity (colour palette and typography) as well as gather any brand assets (images, illustrations, etc.). In addition, it is important to have the actual content of your website/app, to best optimise the information architecture around the key actions you want your target users to take.
Design sprint
Starting with the key user flow first, I create high-fidelity wireframes for you to review and share feedback at the end of each day of the sprint. You can do this during our daily check-in call, or by leaving comments in Figma. I then revise the designs accordingly, and proceed with the remaining user flows. Once the designs are complete and you are happy with everything, we will have a a brief wrap-up call to hand-over the final deliverables.
