ACCESSIBILITY COMES FIRST !!!!
I strongly believe that accessibility comes before all phases of design thinking because it is the foundation for an inclusive design process. By ensuring accessibility from the outset, you can create products and services that are usable by everyone, regardless of their abilities.
Building accessible solutions from the start, sets the stage for a successful design that is functional, equitable, and beneficial to all users.
EMPATHIZE & LISTEN
Empathy and listening, helps me to develop and understand the user needs and helps me to create solutions that are truly valuable and meaningful.
I believe in establishing strong foundation in empathy can lead us to develop Centered solutions that address their needs and create positive and impactful experiences.

PROTOTYPE & FAIL
The prototyping phase is where I truly immerse myself in the creative process, harnessing powerful industry-standard tools like Figma, Sketch, InVision and Adobe CC & XD to bring my ideas to life. It's a hands-on stage, where I experiment and iterate tirelessly to craft prototypes that address the challenges pinpointed in the initial stages.

TEST
I believe that testing is an essential part of the design process, it is not just a final step but continuous testing throughout the design cycle allows you to identify and address problems early on, preventing costly mistakes in the later stages.
