I started with creating a sitemap for the website that every page needed, and then I made a sheet with the content of every page based on the project draft and client meetings.

Sketches & Wireframes
I started sketching low-fidelity wireframes with pencil and paper. I moved on to Figma for my mid-fidelity wireframes. Throughout the different fidelity stages, continuous iterations were made to improve the app’s functionality and UX.

Testing and Learning
Though I was more drawn to creating wireframes and prototypes, I found that the most important part of the process was testing. For example, usability testing was crucial in finding errors and seeing things from a different perspective.
