My Design-Decision Chain

Design Decisions

Rather than finishing a screen, I focus on making every single design decision.

  1. 01

    Read the real need

    Pin down the real problem this UI must solve; once the direction drifts, precision loses its meaning.

  2. 02

    Set the reference

    Anchor to mature UI and concept references — fix the coordinates first, then create.

  3. 03

    Transform the form

    From the reference’s layout, function and shapes I extract a skeleton that can be reshaped into the target function — seeing a form, I remake it into what’s needed rather than copy it.

  4. 04

    Reverse the principle

    While swapping the surface elements, I reverse-engineer the design principle, layout logic and hierarchy — turning “reference” into “understanding.”

  5. 05

    Top-down, by subtraction

    Set the overall character first (rhythm, tension, contrast), then guide the eye, then polish details — controlling the visual focus for the user, leaving only what should be seen.

Visual Field Notes

Inspiration, gathered firsthand

Textures and forms I record firsthand on the road — patterns of ancient architecture, the grain of deserts, the colors of different cultures.
Gathering the design nourishment that is uniquely mine.
