My Design Process

A repeatable way of working that moves from business goals and user needs to validated, measurable product design — and keeps improving long after launch.

01

Discover & Define

I start by aligning on business goals, user needs, and the metrics that define success.

What I do

  • Stakeholder interviews
  • User interviews & behavioural analysis
  • Funnel & analytics review
  • Heuristic evaluation
  • Problem framing

Output

  • A clear problem statement
  • Opportunity areas
  • Success metrics — conversion, engagement, retention
02

Research & Insights

I combine qualitative and quantitative research to uncover real patterns and behaviours.

Methods I use

  • User journeys & jobs-to-be-done mapping
  • Affinity mapping
  • Funnel drop-off analysis
  • Competitor benchmarking

Output

  • Personas & segments
  • Journey maps
  • Insight statements
03

Ideate & Design

I translate insights into scalable product solutions.

What I do

  • User flows & information architecture
  • Rapid wireframing
  • Interaction design
  • Design system alignment

Focus

  • Clarity
  • Usability
  • Accessibility
  • Conversion
04

Prototype & Validate

Before anything gets built, I validate solutions with users and data.

Methods I use

  • Usability testing
  • Rapid iteration loops
  • Prototype validation
  • Heuristic checks

Goal

  • Reduce risk before development starts
05

Experiment & Optimize

This is where design proves itself — I use experimentation and CRO frameworks so solutions actually perform.

What I do

  • Hypothesis creation
  • A/B testing experiments
  • KPI tracking
  • Conversion optimisation

Output

  • Measured improvement in conversion
  • Measured improvement in engagement
  • Measured impact on revenue
06

Build, Launch & Scale

I work closely with engineering, product, and analytics teams to ensure seamless delivery.

What I focus on

  • Design system consistency
  • Accessibility (WCAG)
  • Performance
  • Scalable UX patterns
07

Measure & Iterate

After launch I keep measuring impact and improving — design evolves with data.

Metrics I track

  • Conversion rate
  • User engagement
  • Task success rate
  • Retention

I believe great product design is not just about how things look, but how they perform, scale, and create meaningful value for users and businesses.
