I am an empathy-driven
UX/UI Product designer
👩🏻💻 My professional journey has been enriched by a diverse background that spans in linguistics, customer service, sales and graphic design, providing me with a unique perspective on creating user-centric digital experiences.
💡 I'm deeply passionate about problem-solving, workshopping and will thrive in a creative and collaborative environment. I am focused on delivering inclusive and healthy digital solutions that meet business and user needs.
📚 Right now, I'm deeply interested in understanding human behaviour and psychology. I'm also exploring personality archetypes and self-development strategies.
My Design Thinking Process
I utilise the non-linear, iterative five-stage design thinking process developed by the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford (d.school), which I honed at the Interaction Design Foundation (IxDF). This human-centered approach emphasizes collaboration to generate user-centric solutions.
Stage 1: Discover & Empathise
Research users’ needs, set aside own assumptions about the world and gain real insight into users and their needs
Stage 2: Define
State your users' needs and problems: define the problem and write human-centred problem statement
Stage 3: Ideate
Challenge assumptions, generate ideas, use variety of brainstorming techniques, to stimulate free thinking and expand problem space; choose the best ideas to move forward
Stage 4: Prototype
Start creating solutions and identify the best possible solutions for each of the earlier defined problems
Stage 5: Test
Test the best solutions with the users; generated results are often used to redefine one or more further problems; the ultimate goal is to get as deep an understanding of the product and its users as possible.
