Wireframes
All my figma works start off with wireframes to help me get a feeling of what I want my app to look like. I go through about 2 different drafts before I settle on a final design, like the one in the picture.
Here's a peak behind the curtain when it comes to my designs
My process when it comes to making apps and websites is to research similar products and find their flaws/weaknesses and improve on them. Many modern apps and websites follow similar user processes and users are familiar with them. So by improving on their weaknesses like aesthetics, to give users the best experience.
