Designing a Design Process

About this episode

Scott Mann discusses his design process, detailing the phases of collecting information, refining focus, and educating clients.

This episode is based on a question I received asking: What is your design process? (site analysis, implementation, and how you approach a design) Based on this, I walk through the three phases my design process has evolved through over time:1. Collecting Everything2. Refining Focus3. Educating Clients
