As a Product Designer at CreoTech, I've developed a systematic approach towards the creative process. I see creativity as iterative - it involves observation, exploration, ideation, and refinement.

A recent challenge was redesigning our flagship mobile app. My first step involved conducting user research to understand how we could improve the user experience. Armed with this information, I orchestrated numerous brainstorming sessions together with the developers. This lead to several rounds of sketching and wireframing using tools like Figma and Sketch.

With my team, I was able to design a more intuitive and visually appealing UI that significantly improved user engagement. This experience has reinforced my belief in the importance of collaboration and user-centric design in the creative process.
