UX & UI Designing
Have you ever used a website or app that just felt natural and easy to use? That's the magic of thoughtful UX/UI design. My approach focuses on understanding the big picture by researching user needs and project goals. Then, I move on to defining the problems, coming up with ideas, building prototypes, and testing them—all so I can create a final product that not only does its job but also makes users happy.

What is UX & UI?
What is UX & UI?
When I talk about UX and UI, I'm focusing on how people interact with products and services.
UX (User Experience) is all about the user's journey. It means understanding what users need, how they behave, and what they feel. My goal with UX is to make sure that using a product is smooth, easy, and enjoyable. Simply put, UX ensures that everything feels right and makes sense to the user.
UI (User Interface) is the visual side of things. It’s about how the product looks—the buttons, colors, fonts, and layout. UI design aims to create an attractive and easy-to-use interface that not only looks good but also works seamlessly.

My Approach to UX & UI
My Approach to UX & UI
My approach to UX & UI is based on the design process. The design process is an iterative approach that guides designers from the initial idea to the final product.

Empathize: To start, I try to understand the big picture. I research both qaulitatively and quantitatively to learn about what users need and what the project aims to achieve.
Define: After collecting enough information, I analyze it to clearly state the finding into a project brief. This means setting the problem statement, goals, deadlines, and other requirements to outline what the project will cover.
Ideate: In this step, I brainstorm to come up with the best solutions to the problem. I like using mind maps to list as many ideas as possible.
Prototype: I choose the best ideas and turn them into prototypes or wireframes. These are basic versions of the product that let me show my solutions to others involved in the project.
Test: Once the prototypes are ready, I share them with real users or stakeholders to get feedback. This stage is crucial because it helps identify any issues and gives a tangible view of my ideas.
Implement: Based on the feedback, I improve and finalize the design into detailed wireframes. Then the product is developed to meet the set goals and user needs. In this stage, it's important to work closely with developers to bring the design to life as intended.
