User Experience Design & Architecture

A generalized look at creating UI for complex things

These pages briefly outline the general steps taken in creating a user interface for an application. Every step shown here wouldn't apply to all projects.

What you see here is a guideline, information gleaned from real-world experiences applying what I've read, observed and learned to actual business problems. Like design and life itself, this a work in progress.

I created all of the images and documents shown on this site while working on various UE and interface design projects. A fair number of them are not pretty, but then, in a number of phases in the design cycle, pretty isn't the point. Explaining design processes that respond to real goals and needs is my primary focus in this section.
