Design Approach
Learn from the masters, and design for context.
I was tasked to research and develop motion guidelines for client design system. Through my research I primarily relied on frameworks and approaches to motion behavior to develop a lasting strategy towards interaction design in the design system.
Nielsen Norman group for references in human and psychological needs, critical for the contextual understanding of this design system.
Material Design for their expressive motion behavior system.
Carbon Design for their efficient-oriented motion behavior system.
USWDS for the government-compliant design system as a reference for the design system team’s documentation.
NDA
The assets I created at Visual Logic are currently under NDA.
Please contact me directly to learn more about my impact on this project and my largely self-driven work at Visual Logic.
Reflection
I learned the role of a designer in a client relationship.
To understand a client’s needs, you have to ask questions. Especially coming into my first UX-specific internship, it took me a couple weeks to feel like I could contribute effectively — I had to first understand the way Visual Logic and their clients spoke to each other, how asks were generated, and the relationship during delivery of an ask.
Working closely with clients was undeniably informative, and having a brilliant team through Visual Logic meant I learned the delicacy of navigating high-level information and how to deliver across a long, pre-established timeline.
