My (Akshar) Portfolio website

This project was built in 2018 - 2019 and I don't update this anymore. I used Jekyll without any themes for generating static website without focusing too much on formatting.

About me

Seasoned Designer with over eight years of diverse experience, specializing in steering design teams and spearheading key projects focusing on financial products - with the ability to abstract complexities, ensuring an excellent user experience.

Design process

Stage I: Research & Requirement Gathering: Research for existing design patterns in the industry and engage with customers. Construct requirement docs in collaboration with product managers.

Stage II: User flows and Wireframes: With the help of requirement docs and user insights I draw out user flows and user stories for early design discussions. Draw Balsamiq wireframes to engage engineers and stakeholders early on.

Stage III: UI Design, Prototype, and Hand-off: High fidelity mockups on Sketch. Prototypes range from Invision to HTML/CSS projects. I primarily use Zeplin for the handoff.
