My User Experience Design Process
About This UX Process Archive
This archive outlines the complete UX/UI and research methodologies I apply when structuring digital product experiences.
It’s not a sales offer, it’s a transparent look into how I approach design strategy, user research, and iterative development.
You’re welcome to use these frameworks whether you’re a UX designer seeking process guidance or a founder, product manager, or strategist looking to understand how a comprehensive UX process unfolds in practice.
Completion timelines vary based on the size of the team, available resources, and tools provided.
These frameworks were developed independently through applied research and practical experience — each one reflects realistic pacing and measurable milestones.
Three timeline models are provided to demonstrate how the process adapts across different project scales, participant counts, and research intensities.
