My Process
Research/Discovery
Successful products come from understanding the audience and their needs. I begin each project by researching who the audience is, what they need, and the problems to solve.

Successful products come from understanding the audience and their needs. I begin each project by researching who the audience is, what they need, and the problems to solve.
In addition, understanding your clients product and business goals is crucial to ensuring the long term success of not only the product but the business as well. The following are important questions to answer during the research and discovery phase.
- Who is the audience and what are their needs?
- What is the clients why?
- What are the clients business goals?
- Are there any requirements and restrictions that might affect the design process?
- How will the product address the clients goals and users needs?
Design
After thoroughly researching the target audience, project requirements, and standards, I begin the design phase.

After thoroughly researching the target audience, project requirements, and standards, I begin the design phase.
Each step of my design process builds upon the next. This ensures that I am building a product with a strong foundation. The following are things I use to build a successful product:
- Moodboarding
- Style Guide
- Sketching
- Gray Scale Wireframing
- High Fidelity Compositions
- Prototyping
Testing
During testing, I see if the design works by trying it with different users. Testing can happen at any stage, and there are various methods to do it.
In the testing phase the design can be tested as a whole or parts of the design can be tested individually. The main goal of testing is to ensure that the solutions I have employed to meet my clients goals and the users' needs work. This phase is useful for avoiding personal biases. The following are useful testing techniques to use depending on the situation.
- Gorilla Testing
- A/B Testing
- In-person Interview
- Recorded Session
- Lab Usability Testing
- Observation Testing

Delivery
Delivery involves handing off finished designs to the client or development team. Regardless of the recipient, it's crucial to ensure a smooth transition.

Delivery involves handing off finished designs to the client or development team. Regardless of the recipient, it's crucial to ensure a smooth transition.
While I'm designing, I structure my design files in a way that makes the development process as easy as possible. Utilizing pages, sections, and frames to separate different flows ensures that the client and developer know what they are looking at when they view my file. In addition, I leave comments on the file explaining transition, animation, and interaction if prototyping is not being utilized. The following are things I include in the hand off:
- A design brief outlining design implementations and decisions
- Notes for the developer explaining feature sets, transitions, etc.
- Workable prototype (if applicable) demonstrating user flows, interactions, and animations
- Properly structured and organized file

Hi, Im Josh. Lets get to know each other!
I was born and raised in Utah and have always loved the outdoors. I enjoy camping with my family and exploring all the beauty the great state of Utah and the world has to offer. I learned Dutch while living in the Netherlands and speak it as my second language. I earned a bachelor's degree from Utah Valley University in Web Design and Development with an emphasis on Interaction Design. I love having a process driven design process and creating user centric designs.
