01. Build Low-Fidelity Component Library

In approaching this project, we adopted a distinctive kick-off strategy to streamline the process. To save time, we began by collaboratively identifying the features required for each page, leading to the creation of a low-fidelity components library.

Low-Fidelity Wireframes
for Desktop

With all elements in position, I proceeded to craft low-fi wireframes, aligning them with the sitemap and integrating components from the established library.

Design System

Guided by the design direction, I began crafting a component infused with the brand identity, incorporating the rounded style and brand colors. In parallel, I developed a comprehensive design system, categorizing design assets, global components, homepage elements, and versatile components that could be utilized across pages. I organized these systematically in alphabetical order, facilitating easy access for the team to locate specific components.

High-fi Wireframes

After incorporating client feedback into the finalized wireframes, I integrated design assets into each component to create high-fidelity wireframes. Following completion, I developed a clickable prototype for client review and testing, iterating on it to finalize our wireframes before going live.
