When creating a new web experience, I follow a structured design process that includes research, ideation, prototyping, and testing. I begin with user research to gather insights, followed by brainstorming ideas and sketching wireframes. Once I have a prototype, I conduct usability tests to gather feedback, iterating on the design until it meets user needs effectively.

I prioritize user feedback by actively conducting usability tests and surveys early in the design process. After gathering insights, I analyze the data to identify patterns and areas for improvement. This input directly shapes the iterations of my designs, ensuring they align with user expectations and enhance the overall experience.

In a challenging project where stakeholder needs varied greatly, I facilitated workshops to align our design goals. By creating user personas and mapping user journeys, I transformed stakeholder feedback into actionable insights. Continuous communication with stakeholders helped us refine the design, making it user-focused yet meeting business objectives.

Accessibility is crucial in my design work. I always ensure that my designs are inclusive, adhering to WCAG guidelines. I conduct audits to identify potential accessibility issues and implement changes that allow all users, including those with disabilities, to navigate and engage with our platforms effectively.

To stay updated, I regularly read industry blogs, attend webinars, and participate in design communities. I also follow influential designers on platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter. Engaging with peers and continuing education helps me incorporate the latest trends and best practices into my design work.

I have extensive experience with design systems, understanding their importance in maintaining consistency across products. I've contributed to building design systems outlining component libraries and design tokens, ensuring that all team members can adhere to visual guidelines while enabling scalability in design projects.

When managing multiple projects, I prioritize tasks by assessing project deadlines, stakeholder impact, and user needs. I utilize project management tools to create a timeline, allowing me to segment work into manageable tasks while ensuring alignment with teams. Regular check-ins help keep projects on track.

Ensuring designs resonate with developers and business stakeholders requires open communication. I make it a point to involve them in the design process through feedback sessions and design iterations tailored to their insights. By translating technical requirements into user-friendly and business-centric designs, I create solutions that align with everyone’s goals.

Working in cross-functional teams has been highly rewarding, as it encourages diverse perspectives. I actively collaborate with brand designers, developers, and product marketers, ensuring all voices are heard. This collaboration fosters innovative solutions while aligning on project goals, resulting in seamless execution and positive outcomes.

I prefer using Figma for its collaborative features that allow real-time feedback. For prototyping, I use tools like InVision or Framer, as they provide interactive states that closely resemble final products. I also leverage usertesting.com to validate designs through real user feedback during the prototyping phase.
