Methodology & Skills

As an User eXperience (UX) designer my work is not to create just appealing visual elements, but a unique experience that will satisfy the user.

My level of intervention goes mainly through 3 phases:

1. Pre-production (Output: a powerpoint/excel document.)
   1. Ideation phase
   2. Market analysis
   3. Competitor benchmark
   4. Features list
2. Production (Output: A Pdf document, a design toolkit, Photoshop & Png files for the designs)
   1. Creating the wireframes (the layout and the interactions of the whole product)
   2. Writing the functional visual specifications. It is the wireframes + some annotations for explaining how the product and the interactions works.
   3. Creating the design itself (the emotion) of every pages/components
   4. Internal testing/refinement
   5. Checking the quality. Indeed watching and controlling how the developers develop and implement the design in the app is a must-do
3. Post-production
   1. Gathering feedback (from users/clients)
   2. Filtering & prioritizing the enhancements
   3. Handling wish-list and roadmaps
