I follow the 4D process.

This non-linear process helps me to design the products and services that provide meaningful and relevant experiences to its users by focusing on solving their problems.

🔍
Discover

I start my designing process by learning about the problem(s) I’m trying to solve with the help of extensive research. I try to capture the existing user behaviour, any qualitative or quantitative data available. If not, then I create surveys, conduct interviews, create a meaningful design materials like personas, journey maps to identify the problem(s).

🎯
Define

Based on the research, I start creating the user stories around the problem and try to define an accurate statement for further actions. I also define the design scope at this stage by doing the assessment of existing systems to evaluate the current work and interpret them into activities, functions and representations. In a nutshell, I create user stories!

💡
Design

Here, the magic happens! I start the design work by converting user stories into wireframes, designing interactions, interface elements and also work on the visual aesthetics of the designs. I prefer to create a basic design system before I start designing the solution to set the foundations and principles or I use one of the existing system available.

🤝
Deliver

While designing, I test the designs created with the users and re-iterate the wireframes or design prototypes based on the responses. After meaningful iterations, I work closely with the engineers to do the design hand-off and provide constant design support, if needed. This is a non-linear process.

I'm now a mentor on ADPList! If you're interested in knowing more about UX or the Digital design world in general, you can set up a mentoring session with me for free. 🤘
