Process in Action: Nurdle Saas Case Study

1 Research Phase

Defined the target audience, features and marketing frameworks. Conducted competitor analysis and identified several industry trends.

2 Define Phase

Defined the user persona, empathy mapping, affinity mapping and problem statement.

3 Ideate Phase

Used information architecture to determine what needs to be added. Developed mid-fidelity wireframes.

4 Design Phase

I defined the typography and colour palette to align with the brand's tone and ensure accessibility. High-fidelity wireframes and an interactive prototype brought the interface to life, allowing for realistic interaction flows.

5 Recollect Phase

I reflected on the project's evolution from problem identification to fully realised interface. Recollecting key design decisions helped surface how each choice, whether in layout, typography, or interaction contributed to user clarity and business goals. I also revisited how marketing principles, like AIDA and PAS, shaped the narrative flow. This phase served as both a moment of evaluation and learning, highlighting what worked, what could be improved.
