My process

Sorry no flowcharts 🥲,
Each client is unique each project is unique in my experience having one cookie cutter process to each project is unfair to the client and me.

Common steps from most projects
Understanding the initial "Why"
I help people build things, but they rarely define what problem they’re solving. Once I know what and who I’m solving it for, everything gets much much easier.
Understanding the business goal
It's not  just about make things look good, every project has a business goal, whether it's profit, reach, or recognition. That goal needs to be clear.
Iterative designs
Using mood boards, wireframes, style guides, and design reviews, I refine the look and feel step by step until the client is happy (within reason!).
Collaborative implementation
Skipping working with the implementation team is a mistake, I want to make sure my designs are actually doable. A great design means nothing if it can’t be built!

My quest for rent money!

Peshala is incredibly skilled, and is always a pleasure to work with. Because he brings a very impressive range of design and creative skills to any project he works on, he has added serious value to our business, from designing our mobile app to redesigning our website, and creating assets we can use across social media posts. You can clearly tell that his design decisions are informed by his deep understanding of user experience, brand positioning, and product design, honed through years of experience working in the industry. He understands the iterative process it takes to arrive at a working design after rounds of feedback, and is very easy to work with, through the process.

We’ve teamed up with Peshala on multiple projects, tackling UX challenges for internal and external projects together. He knows his stuff, always adds value, and works so smoothly with the team that sync issues just don’t happen. He kept everything on track, delivered on time, and was always around for tweaks and support post project go live. I can’t recommend Peshala enough!

I’ve known Peshala for over six years, and he’s always been my go-to for design for most proejcts I work on. What I really value about him is that he doesn’t just stop at making things look good—he takes the time to understand the business side, the goals, and the bigger picture. That’s why the work he delivers actually works in the real world, not just as a set of pretty pixels
