Modern brands values speed and efficiency. They want quick results, not endless meetings.

Here is my practical four steps methodology to go from exploration to execution.

  • 01

    Discover

    The journey starts by asking the right questions, to you, your partners, employees or clients. I interview, gather, immerse and analyse to scoop up the insights that will lead us to a clear understanding of the problem we are about to solve.

  • Ideate

    Armed with the knowledge and insights of the previous phase, and with the help of design thinking techniques, we will come up with concepts and proposals that could solve the identified issues.

    02

  • Develop

    Selected concept or idea is refined and developed. Practical feedbacks are gathered from various stakeholders to further align the solution with project goals and user needs.

    03

  • Deliver

    Final design or solutions are prepared for implementation or production. Depending on the project, this may include detailed specifications, high fidelity prototypes, ready to print files or product ready assets.
