After working through the information architecture, making sure to consider dependencies, blockers, and requirements we move on to the wire-framing phase which is where we ensure the experience is optimal for each flow and point out where common components are needed that could reappear in other flows.
After establishing guiding factors through design thinking exercises we can develop a UI Kit and flush out a design system. We want our users to trust the applications competency while also feeling approachable. A balance between design elements like dark mode and rounded corners help the user perceive those themes simultaneously.
The prototype includes screens that implement the design system, interactions, and help outline the flow. This helps the product team and other stakeholders identify gaps, foreshadow needs, and feel confident that the parameters are met.
