My Design Process

Design Thinking Approach

I follow a user-centered design process that emphasizes research, iteration, and validation. Each project begins with understanding user needs and ends with testing solutions.

🔍

Research

User interviews, surveys, competitive analysis

💡

Ideation

Sketches, concepts, brainstorming

🎨

Prototype

Wireframes, high-fidelity designs

✅

Test

User testing, feedback, iteration

Design Principles

Core principles that guide my design decisions: Unity, Balance, and Clear Distinctions between sections.

Design Principles
Unity vs Lack of Unity | Balance vs Imbalance | Clear Distinctions vs Lack of Distinctions

User Research

Survey Results - Comic-Con Experience

Conducted user research to understand what interactive activities people want at events. Survey of 27 respondents revealed key insights:

Survey Results
User preferences: 59.3% want gaming competitions, 59.3% interactive workshops, 44.4% trivia games

Key Findings

  • 59.3% prefer interactive workshops or panels
  • 59.3% want gaming competitions
  • 44.4% enjoy trivia games or quizzes
  • 37% interested in scavenger hunts
  • 33.3% like live polls and participation

Design Implications

  • Gamification is highly valued by users
  • Interactive elements increase engagement
  • Variety of activity types needed
  • Mobile-first approach for conventions
  • Social/competitive features important

Concept Ideation

Scavenger Hunt App Concept

Based on research findings, developed a concept for an interactive scavenger hunt app for Comic-Con Holland.

Scavenger Hunt Concept
Early concept visualization: Map-based scavenger hunt with tasks like "Find a Cosplay" and "Collect Superhero"

Elemental Challenge - Game Concept Sketches

Hand-drawn storyboards and room designs for an "Elemental Challenge in the Labyrinth" game concept. These sketches explore different visual approaches and gameplay mechanics.

Concept Sketches
Storyboard sketches: Labyrinth entrance, mobile interaction, room designs with elemental themes
Design Thinking

The sketching phase is crucial for exploring ideas quickly before committing to digital design. These rough concepts helped define the visual language: ancient Greek columns, elemental fire symbols, and mysterious labyrinth aesthetics.

04

User Testing

Testing Scenario

Created realistic testing scenarios to evaluate the scavenger hunt app concept with real users.

Testing Scenario
"You are going to comic con and are looking for an activity to make it easier to explore this giant place..."

Post-Test Questions

Structured interview questions to gather qualitative feedback after user testing sessions.

Testing Questions
Questions covering game understanding, navigation, favorite/least favorite parts, and visual appeal

Field Testing at Comic-Con

Real-world testing of concepts at an actual Comic-Con event to observe user behavior in context.
