UX Process
There is a truncated version of a UX design process referred to as the “Double Diamond.” It goes like this: 1. Discover insight into the problem. 2. Define the area to focus upon. 3. Develop potential solutions. and 4. Deliver solutions that work.
Below is a much longer-winded version that I typically follow when designing UX, but aspects of it apply to any art project: research, explore, and iterate…
Discover
• Identify scope• Identify target platform(s)• Verify deliverable• Identify constraints in dollars, hours, colors, kb, pixels, accessibility, and platform• Discuss stakeholder review frequency
Research
• Design guideline analysis• Platform constraint analysis• Familial element analysis• Competitive analysis• Red route analysis (Heatmaps/thought process/flow)
Ideate
• Consider knowns from research and discover stages• Imagine solutions• Wireframe• Flowchart• Internal department check• Review/Refine/Repeat
Design
• Rapid Prototype• Verify Accessibility: optical, aural, physical• Verify full Platform compatibility• Verify Cultural suitability• Narrow candidates• Internal department check• Mockup for review• Review/Refine/Repeat• finalize for testing
Test
• Deploy to beta• Usability and A/B Testing• Explore feedback• Review/Refine/Repeat• Finalize for Deployment
Deploy
• Finalize/launch• Explore feedback• Review/Refine/Repeat

Exploration (Water Sort Game Figma Prototype)
My UI art style stretches to many corners of the UI spectrum.
Give me a couple rounds of feedback, and I can make it happen.
