Approach
Every single project is different. Ensuring consistency in approach gives confidence to clients that regardless the size or complexity, everything will be done well.
What is Design thinking?
Product design is not linear. It's cyclical and iterative. At every stage, the product development can move back a step and changed to make the final outcome better.
With that in mind, here is a rough guide to the types of activities that regularly happen when building a product that Users, engineers and the CTO can all be happy with.
Talk to people.
You need to speak to real people. In person visits or Calls with real (or prospective) Users is the obvious one.
Speaking with SLT and defining business requirements
Surveys, and data insights can help work out who's best to speak with but speaking to them and understanding the nuance of their problem is the most important thing. Communicating this back to the eng, product or SLT team quickly and clearly is another important aspect.
Prototype
Prototyping doesn't just have to be complex Figma interactive projects. Working closely with engineers, we regularly create hybrid concepts quicker than any product designer on their own. As long as something can be tested with Users or the team then this "prototype" has fullfilled it's purpose.
Test
Perfect if you need someone to dive deeper into your projects, collaborate closely with your team, and help bridge the gap between creative, engineering, and product work.

"To get the obvious out of the way; Jon is in many ways a quintessential digital product designer and is always a passionate advocate for the end user. But what he brings that is uniquely Jon is enthusiasm; not just for the role (of which there is plenty), but also for the environment and the relationships that surround the role. It isn't enough to be good at the job, but he must also try and ensure the people he's working with are, and the environment they're working in is, comfortable and creative."
