UX METHODOLOGY & DESIGN LAWS

My UX Design Process

A structured, human-centered approach combining Design Thinking, empirical usability research, technical feasibility alignment, and psychological UX principles.

PROCESS 01

New Project Development Pipeline (9 Steps)

From initial discovery to post-deployment quality assurance

01. Discovery & Alignment

Asking core questions: Why do we need this project? What business problem are we solving? Establishing clear metrics from day one.

02. Research & Inspiration

Exploring existing tools, analyzing competitor workflows, and gathering stakeholder inspirations to find opportunities for improvement.

03. User Pain Point Analysis

Connecting directly with end users to map frustrations, bottlenecks, and legacy system friction points.

04. Flows, IA & Tech Check

Mapping end-to-end user flows, defining Information Architecture, and validating early technical feasibility with engineering.

05. Prototyping

Progressing from low-fidelity wireframes to interactive high-fidelity prototypes following Material Design 3 and token systems.

06. Usability Testing

Conducting supervised and unsupervised usability sessions to uncover real interaction patterns and confusion points.

07. Iteration & Refinement

Iterating rapidly based on user feedback to resolve usability issues before final engineering sign-off.

08. Stakeholder Handover

Preparing comprehensive design tokens, component specs, and developer-friendly documentation for seamless handoff.

09. Dev Support & QA

Remaining active throughout development for QA testing, verifying live UI builds prior to final global rollout.

PROCESS 02

Existing Project Improvement Framework

Data-driven audit and modernization methodology for established SaaS applications

1. Comprehensive Audit

Full project scan focusing on modernizing interface aesthetics while preserving user familiarity.

2. Heuristic Evaluation

Systematic evaluation against Jakob Nielsen's 10 Usability Heuristics to catch usability flaws.

3. WCAG Accessibility

Thorough accessibility assessment ensuring WCAG compliance for inclusive enterprise use.

4. Heat Maps & Analytics

Analyzing click tracking, heat maps, and session recordings to evaluate real interaction patterns.

5. User Interviews

Pairing quantitative analytics with qualitative user interviews to uncover root friction causes.

6. Prioritized Strategy

Synthesizing findings into actionable UX recommendations prioritized by business impact and effort.

UX Laws & Psychological Principles Applied

Grounding design decisions in proven usability heuristics and human psychology

Jakob's Law Existing Mental Models

Users leverage mental models from familiar tools so they can focus on tasks rather than re-learning UI.

Hick's Law Streamlined Choice Architecture

Minimizing cognitive overload by streamlining complex choices and serving progressive content disclosure.

Fitts's Law Fat-Finger Touch Targets

Optimizing target accessibility, sizing, and placement for primary high-impact actions.

Gestalt Principles Spatial Relationships

Grouping elements via visual proximity and similarity to establish clean information hierarchy.

Aesthetic-Usability Product Credibility & Trust

Pairing high visual polish with solid engineering to build immediate credibility and user trust.

Von Restorff Effect High-Contrast Callouts

Using deliberate visual cues to guide users toward primary business-critical conversion goals.

Doherty Threshold Sub-400ms Response Loops

Guaranteeing flow state with proactive loading states and rapid feedback under 400ms.

Peak-End Rule Lasting System Milestones

Crafting positive feedback cycles at critical milestone conversion points.
