It all happens with the question WHY throughout process**.**
It defines the purpose and keeps me motivated. Without knowing why, I would never start the work.
I would dig the problem deeper. The root cause, the impact and the value it brings to solve it. Also, I would see how others solve it.
This solidifies the scope. When everyone agrees on a direction, it’s rare that the solution changes entirely. This saves time and reduces changes.
Bringing idea to visual form. Thoughts mature and solution refines over iterations. It also shows the adaptation of design system.
Treasure of designs will be presented to engineers. They roast, criticize, throw opinions and importantly, tell us where the system is vulnerable for our ideas. I fight, I compromise and make sure I’m delivering what makes sense.
I always make sure whatever I build today is only a founding lego block, and bridges or towers could be build upon. I plan of what’s coming and build what’s needed.
I built and maintained design systems in all my career. I worked from Figma to Sketch. I even had a Kan-Ban board inside design system to keep track of planned updates.
Either it’s a simple copy or a complex component. I ensure consistency and reusability at all times. Same problems should have same solutions. When thoughts evolve, updates can be shipped in a snap.
I love mentoring and empowering designers with what I know. Been mentored around 10 designers and they are all working as full-time designers. Also managed a team of 2.
I approach challenges with eagerness and curiosity. Rather than shying away, I delve into the unknown, always keen to explore and learn something new every day. A seeker, enthusiast and fond of tech.
