Pride in process

Step one

Discovery

At the beginning of every project, my first objective is to obtain a concrete understanding of what will be most effective for your audience. Through user research, personas, and a competitive analysis, I ensure that every pixel works toward ensuring your project is a success.

Step two

Design & implementation

With an understanding of what it takes to make your project uniquely successful, I begin executing on the outlined strategy. Depending on the specific needs of the project, this may involve wireframing, prototyping, component library design, and responsive development.

Step three

Closure

At the end of each project, I ensure that you're happy with the final results and discuss what worked and what still could be improved. This helps to inform next steps for you as well as helping me continually improve the quality of my work.
