My UX process entirely depends on the product, its purpose and value, user needs, business needs, available data, and the commonality of the product type to leverage existing patterns and conventions. Based on these factors, I construct a UX process catered specifically to the product. If there is an existing product, I begin with a UX audit of the current experience and review any existing user feedback data. The level of depth in this step also depends on budget and resources. Additionally, I may map out data and user journeys to visualize interactions and identify critical touchpoints. This holistic and adaptable approach ensures that the final product is user-centered, functional, and aligned with business objectives.
I was drawn to UX/UI design because it merges technology, usability, and aesthetics. Designing digital solutions that are not only visually appealing but also functional is incredibly rewarding. It's fascinating to see how design influences user behavior and helps them achieve their goals. Every design element, like adding shadows to a button, plays a crucial role in enhancing the user experience. Additionally, I am great at problem-solving and making the complex simple, which allows me to create intuitive and seamless user experiences.
For design and prototyping, I primarily use Figma, which is essential for all my design needs. For brainstorming, data collection, organization, and information architecture, FigJam is my go-to tool. When building websites, I rely on Webflow for its powerful and flexible web design capabilities.For business management tasks like time tracking, contract generation, and invoicing, I use Fiverr Workspace (formerly known as And.co). For creating logos, Adobe Illustrator is my preferred software, while Photoshop is indispensable for crafting detailed mockups. Additionally, I use Canva to create design templates specifically tailored for my clients, enabling them to maintain brand consistency effortlessly. Sublime Text is used for coding, and Apple iCal for managing my calendar. To stay organized with tasks, I use the To Do List app and Notion for documentation and organization. For communication, I rely on Slack and WhatsApp for chat functionalities. Bear serves as my primary note-taking app, and IconJar is an excellent resource for organizing icons.
I charge an hourly rate of $90 USD for UX/UI design services or a day rate of $680 USD. For Australian Clients my hourly rate is $125 AUD an hour. An hourly rate allows for flexibility and ensures that you only pay for the time spent directly on your project. Time tracking is used to maintain transparency and fairness in billing. Fixed price quotes can be arranged for Brand and Website projects upon enquiry.
The cost to design and build a custom Webflow website can vary widely depending on several factors such as the complexity of the design, the number of pages, custom functionality, integrations, and any additional services like brand or asset creation. Generally, for a high-quality custom Webflow website, the cost can range from $5,000 AUD to $20,000 AUD or more, with the median cost being around $10,000 AUD.
