Common Questions Answered

What is your design process?

The product process time can vary depending on factors such as project scale, time constraints, available human resources, business objectives, and user needs, which may extend or reduce the overall duration. Additionally, the stage at which the project currently resides determines the appropriate starting point. For instance, if it's at the conceptual stage, the process might begin with idea evaluation, user research, or market analysis. In the case of a redesign, it could commence with product or usability testing, user research, or stakeholder interviews before diving into the actual work.

What tools and software do you use for design?

For design, I utilize Figma and FigJam, but I'm also proficient in Adobe Suite tools like XD, Photoshop, After Effects, and Premiere. Additionally, I have experience working with collaborative tools such as Miro, FlowMapp, and Wireflow, as well as analytics tools like Amplitude and UXCam. Furthermore, I am an expert in utilizing task management platforms such as Jira and Trello. Moreover, I have practical experience with Webflow, Framer, and WordPress Elementor.
