Working as a designer in diverse project teams necessitates a broad professional understanding mixed with technical expertise and artistic tendencies. I progress from initial project sales to highly comprehensive feature specifications and value-driven service solutions by translating initial concepts into user-friendly experiences and visually appealing, developer-friendly, and future-proof layouts. In brief, I play an important role in your digital product development cycle, going through all of the necessary design stages on each and every project.

Precise project management and project framework practices
As a designer, I contribute to our sales team's success by offering my unique perspective on certain client bids. When necessary, I assist current project sales with realistic solution propositions, detailed proof of concept design, and visual complements. I combine client brand themes and project-specific needs to create early sales-focused layout prototypes. Supplementing these assets with visual presentations and thorough solution-specific explanations could be the single factor that distinguishes our project team from rivals and, ultimately, contributes to our success in landing the job.

Meeting the clients
Creating value requires us to thoroughly understand and meet all of our fundamental user needs through Service Design. External feature demands must be honed further into feasible technological solutions while project realities, such as budgets and timeline constraints, are considered. To make these goals a reality, actual user flows that cover all feasible user actions, as well as logical service architecture solutions, must be implemented, with no corner case scenarios overlooked.

Keeping our solutions within realistic and profitable frames
The majority of my professional time is spent converting accepted feature specifications into functional interface elements. Working through intuitive user experience solutions and implementing client brand themes to create product-specific and visually appealing layouts is naturally exciting. Keeping my interface solutions technically sound and developer friendly requires thorough research and effective cross-team communication. Finally, my design must consider everything from code-based development to varying content volumes and user device specific needs.

Stakeholder and user feedback for design validation
In the end, all digital services will be implemented as simple ones and zeroes. At first look, UX/UI Design may appear to share many similarities with traditional layout design. With closer inspection, creating sound UI layouts necessitates additional and careful technological considerations. No object or interface asset should ever be placed on a whim; everything must be broken down into rules of what, how, when, and why. As a digital design professional, I set extremely high standards for my design solutions. Everything must be designed to be easily developed and simple to implement by any and all properly skilled developers.

Creative product development is fundamentally based on precise project management and project flow techniques. As a senior-level professional, I am actively involved in the continued development of our agile project team methods. From proven Service Design methodologies to cyclic design, feature iteration, and development phases, I aim to ensure that our project teams' work is as effortless as possible. With well defined practices, we can create extraordinary end results while remaining financially profitable and involving all of our stakeholders.
