I understand that every team or organization has its own approach. Here’s the process I’ve followed in my recent projects, which has helped me work efficiently and deliver better results. I’m always open to exploring new methods and improving along the way.

🎯 Define

Start by clearly understanding the problem.

• Gather the “what,” “why,” and supporting data about the problem space.

• Draft a document outlining the objective, current system, scope, and Jobs To Be Done (JTBD).

• Share it with your Design Manager (DM) and PM for feedback, iterate, and finalize.

  
  

Once the objective is clear, you’ve already solved half the problem.

🥷🏼 Execute

Now, focus on finding solutions and turning them into designs.

• Brainstorm ideas, design solutions, and iterate quickly.

• Share initial designs with your DM for feedback.

• Open it up to the team for feedback—you’ll gain valuable insights and fresh perspectives.

🛠 Improve

Refine your designs and make them better.

• Discuss feedback with your DM and make revisions.

• If needed, connect with fellow designers to brainstorm ideas.

• Create the next version, share it for feedback, and iterate again.

• Finalize the design spec and review it thoroughly for clarity and consistency.

• Collaborate with a UX writer if necessary for the finishing touches.

🔍 Review

Ensure everything is ready for delivery.

• Share the complete spec with your DM and PM for final feedback.

• Check for edge cases and ensure the design aligns with guidelines.

• Clean up your Figma file, hand it off, and update the JIRA ticket.

  
  

You’re done—great work!

⚠️ Cautions

A few things to keep in mind:

• Take ownership and avoid relying too much on your managers.

• Always define the problem clearly before jumping into execution.

• Bring thoughtful ideas and solutions to the table.

• Ensure your designs are detailed, complete, and polished.

  
  

This process has helped me work efficiently, and I’m always looking for ways to improve!
