Some of the iterations I do; • Meeting clients, managers, or other colleagues to discuss the business objectives and requirements of the job; • Estimating the time/gap required to complete the work; • Developing design briefs that suit the client's purpose; • Thinking creatively to produce new ideas and concepts and developing interactive design based on client specifications; • Using innovation to redefine a design brief within the constraints of cost and time; • Presenting finalized ideas and concepts to clients and/or managers; • Working with a range of media and keeping up to date with emerging technologies to incorporate: usability, accessibility, designing, prototyping, and testing; • Working as part of a research team in a multi-cultural and diverse environment to develop strategies and plans and develop style guidelines.
