Methods
Interaction DesignDesigning how people act with a product over time: controls, states, feedback, flows and micro-interactions. Turns goals and constraints into concrete behaviours that feel clear and forgiving, informed by perception, cognition and the physical or digital context of use.
Visual DesignShaping look and feel — typography, colour, layout, imagery — so hierarchy, meaning and emotion support usability and brand without fighting perception.
