Design Process

From Idea
to Impact.

A five-phase journey from the first conversation to a polished, delivered product. Every step is intentional, every decision is explained, and each phase builds on the last.

01
Phase 01

Discover

Listen first. Design second.

Every great product starts not with a screen, but with a conversation. I immerse myself in your goals, your users, and your market — building the empathy and clarity that every decision downstream depends on.

What I do

  • Client brief & discovery calls
  • User research & persona mapping
  • Market & competitor analysis
  • Brand audit & opportunity framing

Tools

Deliverables

  • Discovery brief
  • User personas
  • Research findings
02
Phase 02

Define

Structure the story.

With research in hand, I map the journey — user flows, information architecture, and content hierarchy. This phase turns insights into a blueprint everyone can align on before a single mockup is drawn.

What I do

  • User flow diagrams
  • Information architecture
  • Content strategy & planning
  • Feature prioritisation

Tools

Deliverables

  • User flows
  • Site map
  • Content outline
03
Phase 03

Design

Where vision meets pixel.

From lo-fi wireframes to high-fidelity screens — this is where the system comes alive. Typography, colour, spacing, components. I build design systems that scale, not just screens that look good in isolation.

What I do

  • Lo-fi wireframing
  • Visual identity & design system
  • UI component library
  • Responsive layouts & prototyping

Tools

Deliverables

  • Design system
  • Hi-fi mockups
  • Clickable prototype
04
Phase 04

Build

Code meets craft.

I don't stop at design. Using AI-assisted workflows and Figma-to-code pipelines, I bridge the gap between design and production — ensuring every interaction is faithfully realised in the browser or storefront.

What I do

  • Figma-to-code handoff & build
  • React / Next.js development
  • Shopify store setup & theming
  • AI-assisted vibe-coding workflows

Tools

Deliverables

  • Responsive web build
  • Shopify storefront
  • Component library

Phase 05

Handoff

Delivered. Documented. Done right.

Shipping is just the start. Clean files, thorough documentation, and a smooth handoff so your team can maintain, iterate, and grow what we've built — long after the project officially wraps.

What I do

  • Final QA & polish pass
  • Figma Dev Mode handoff
  • Design documentation & brand guide
  • Feedback integration & iteration loop

Tools

Deliverables

  • Final source files
  • Dev handoff spec
  • Brand guidelines
