Design Process

Go! Wireframes!

I'm ashamed to admit that I don't really have a good habit of keeping my wireframes. Sometimes my brain just works faster than drawing all of them out, and I'm pretty good at building a highly-detailed image in my mind. (To excuse myself, I've been through over a decade of painting training and my strength was figurative thinking.) But my friend at Google kinda warned me recently. So I start to record (almost) every changing idea with sketches and multiple artboards.

Surprisingly I found myself captured a lot of tiny sparks or logics behind the scene. Are they making my final design more thoughtful than it could have been? Actually probably not. But they definitely tell a much richer story about how my design is formed, and more importantly, who I am as a designer.
