Briefing
It all starts with a call where the broad details of the project are shared and discussed. If the project fits both parties, I send an estimation of costs and resources, to be agreed upon before beginning.
References
Depending of the project this can be just external market research or just a simple gathering of competitors, visual references and overall ideas that might be worth considering before proceeding.
Research & Data
Next up, I would collect any kind of data available, or work alongside your team to get a great starting point based on the metrics we are looking to impact and how we are going to measure them, as well as some user research.
Wireframing
At this stage, the design sprints start with an exchange of basic wireframes that will act as a “visual contract” of what the project will be structurally. Once agreed upon the final structure, the final cost can be estimated.
Prototyping
Depending on the project, this would be the stage where the wireframes take a form more closer to the final product, with mocking of some parts and developing of others to test and iterate upon.
Implementation
If the project requires it, I can also be on board with the technical implementation or work alongside your company’s team to ensure the best possible translation between the designs and the final product.
How should we work together?
Here are a few suggestions...
Are you part of a company looking for a freelance designer for your project?
I offer my services for hourly/daily work on timeboxed projects. If you think my skills and your venture might be a match, let’s get in touch!
Are you hosting a meetup, conference, podcast or seminar, looking for a speaker?
Need a speaker for your conference, a custom-tailored workshop for your company, or any other workshop-like event? Then get in touch with me and let’s set something up!
Are you a junior designer looking for career mentorship or help?
Are you a junior designer that landed here by chance and want to get better with some help from a more experienced designer? Then apply for some (free!) mentorship.
