Product designer · Johannesburg, remote-capable

André Swanepoel

From the first question to a build-ready front end.

Available for new work

Sixteen years of end-to-end UX and UI, mostly on products that people have to use rather than want to. I work in eight documented stages, from the first question to a build-ready front end — and everything in this catalogue came through them.

How the work gets made

01
Understand
The brief, the business, the constraints.
02
Map landscape
Comparative analysis — what exists, what works.
03
Gap analysis
What's missing between where they are and where they need to be.
04
User profiling
Audiences, jobs to be done, usage patterns.
05
Information architecture
Structure, navigation, hierarchy.
06
Wireframes
Flows, layouts, states.
07
Design system
Tokens, components, patterns.
08
Build-ready front end
The handoff that doesn't need translating.
