keep the simple simple & make the complex possible
-
need
- does anyone actually need this?
- if so, what do they need?
-
research
- who needs this and why?
- is this already done elsewhere, and what is good and bad about how it’s already done?
-
ideate
- understand the problem and find the best way to make it possible
- repeat
-
create
- go with your gut and do that until you can’t stand to look at the thing anymore
- take a step back or do something else
- come back with fresh eyes and see what sticks out
-
iterate
- don’t just keep adding things because you’re bored
- distill it down until it does only what it needs to
- if you think you’re done, you’re probably not and that’s a good thing.
what i’m good at:
- interactive components
- rapid iteration
- design systems
- Figma component variant sets
- interaction design
- collaboration
- receiving feedback
