Creative Solutions Through Passion for Design
PROCESS
I have a uniquely strong design process that is extremely dynamic. Sometimes Digital roughs are easier to do than to hand sketch out ideas.I'm the world's biggest fan of brain maps and use them to my advantage as often as possible. My communication skills are above average, thus stakeholders are always well informed and content with the design process.
RESEARCH
Once I've developed some ideas for a project,
I'll research the best methods to produce the final product as efficiently as possible. As well as revisit brainstorming ideas to make sure that I'm not missing key ideas for the project.
BRAINSTORM
From the moment a project comes into my hands, I begin to brainstorm and develop ideas for the project. I'll often use mind mapping as a way to develop ideas and strategize on how I'll attack a project.
ROUGH DRAFTS
Often times my favorite part of the process.
I love sketching ideas by hand and developing them into graphic elements. I utilize a tablet so that my sketches are digital and can easily be moved to a well-done digital draft.
DIGITAL DRAFTS
Sometimes it makes more sense to go straight to a digital draft. I like using wireframes as a way to layout pages and websites. It just doesn't get any easier than using photoshop or illustrator.
Once I've created solid digital rough drafts, it's time to share with the client for feedback.
​
SHARE DRAFTS
Life comes in rules of 3's. 3 weeks without food, 3 days without water, 3 minutes without air... this also applies to rough drafts. Once research is complete, I like to focus on 3 rough drafts unless I'm really struggling for inspiration.
​
FEEDBACK
Once I've developed digital roughs, I share them with the client or team. I get any additional feedback so that I can make final adjustments to whichever concept they may have selected.
