Aspects that drive my design ideology
Through out these past years of my design career, I always believed in these aspects which helped me solve the design problems.
Design Thinking
Right from the start of design career, I always used and trusted the design thinking process. It not only helps me observe and develop empathy towards the users but also improve my ability to question the assumptions and implications.
Design Process
Designing the entire process of acquiring and integrating the product, including branding, design, usability, and function and testing within the given timeframe for the project.
Strategy
I try to focus on the business problems and needs of the customer and making sure the user experience design aligns with the objectives of the problem. This involves careful attention to heuristics and visual design.
Curiosity & Learning
I constantly search for ways to improve the experience around me. To constantly build up these aspects I made a habit of listening more than I speak by addressing it in multiple ways and asking more questions.
My Career Stats
In the past, right from my bachelors till present, I have been a part of many amazing projects which shaped me as a designer that I am today. Right from applying the user-centered methodology to learning new methodologies like agile and lean UX methodologies, the way I approach problems is totally dependent on the constraints and time frame that surround me.
