How I work.

1
PRD
It starts as a problem statement or a PRD, checked against research with the people who’ll use it.

## Users and roles

## Flows

## States and edge cases

2
User flows
Research findings and the PRD become user flows in FigJam.
3
Design system
I sketch the screens, then take them to hi-fi on a system I build alongside.
4
AI contract
The design system’s rules live in DESIGN.md in the repo, the file every AI coding session loads first.
DESIGN.md
1
Only two typefaces exist in this system.
2
Only the colors defined in this section may be used.
3
Default radius for most components is 0px.
4
Base-4 spacing scale. Use these values; do not invent intermediate values.
5
No drop shadows unless explicitly requested.
6
Derived from the Figma Primitives collection.
5
Shipped
Engineers build from the PRDs and the design system. I review each build and QA it on the real routes.

She also contributed to projects that required building the user experience from earlier stages (ASU AI-X and ReQUESTA), including mapping out user flows, creating wireframes, developing low- and high-fidelity prototypes, and refining designs based on feedback from users and project stakeholders.

Questions I get asked.

It starts with a PRD or a problem statement, then user flows in FigJam and an information architecture for them to sit on. Screens start as sketches and reach hi-fi on a design system I build alongside. I review each build and run QA against the real routes. The DADO and Requesta case studies walk through it end to end.
