The way I attend to a project and start my work process is never the same, yet it has similar principles that I can try to define and break into a few stages.
1. Hi
I place myself by the task and become inspired by its goals and by what it's intended to be. This way, I “become one with the project” (as corny as it may sound) and I KNOW I’m loyal to it and direct my best knowledge, experience and hard work to its benefit and success.
​
2. Nice to meet you
Once “I’m in”, I start doing my research, sometimes it's wide and sometimes it’s relatively short. When I feel comfortable enough with the needed background, I start to plan and imaging the structure / wireframes according to the goal we have set with the customer.
​
3. Okay then
As I begin to craft, I set basic ground rules and design assets, in order to maintain a defined design system that will fluently communicate the entire project. Whether it is branding, typography, colors, buttons, user behavior, UX, UI - U name it - it all needs to work well together.
​
4. Let's go
Whenever I feel I've made good progress I'm eager to share it with the client. I believe feedback is an important stage of the process, mainly because it allows new ideas to arise while brainstorming.
Driven by the Design Thinking method I like get insights about the concepts' portrayal in different ways, including reaching out to an audience, users or just plain folks with opinions and ideas.
​
5. Cheers
Processing and reflecting on the responses are an important part for me, in order to apply the needed adjustments to finalize and refine the project.

Worth mentioning -
I love working with people, I appreciate the company!
I am always proud to be a part of a good team :)
