Asynchronous Communication

I prioritize asynchronous workflows, which allows me to provide clear, documented updates rather than frequent meetings


5 reasons to work async

  • More deep-focus time (fewer meetings, fewer context switches).
  • Clearer requirements (written/recorded once, less misinterpretation)
  • Works across time zones (progress continues while others are offline)
  • Better decision trail (searchable history: why we chose X
  • More inclusive collaboration (people can think and respond thoughtfully).

3 async tools for a UI designer

  • Loom (or Screen Studio) — record short walkthroughs of flows + rationale.
  • Clearer requirements (written/recorded once, less misinterpretation)
  • Figma — comments, prototypes, and async design reviews in-context.
  • Notion (or Confluence/Google Docs) — lightweight specs, decision logs, and handoff notes.
1.

INTAKE & REQUIREMENT GATHERING

(Client → UI Designer)

Tools

Standardized Brief Submission:
Clients fill out a structured form with

- Business goals
- User personas
- Required features & functionality
- Design references & inspirations

Auto-generated task creation:

Integrate with Asana/Trello to create design tasks from form responses.

Pre-set expectations:

Define timelines, deliverables, and revision scope upfront.

2.

WIREFRAMING &
INITIAL CONCEPT

(UI Designer → Client)

Tools

-

UI designer creates low-fidelity wireframes with clear annotations.

-

Uploads to Figma for client viewing and commenting.

-

Clients provide feedback asynchronously via Figma comments or a structured feedback form.

3.

HIGH-FIDELITY DESIGN & PROTOTYPING

(UI Designer → Client)

TOOLS

- Create polished, interactive prototypes in Figma

- Add interactive flows to mimic real usage.

- Clients review using Figma’s comment system or a custom form with predefined feedback prompts.

- Set a fixed review period to keep the timeline moving.

4.

ITERATIONS & FINAL APPROVAL

(Client → UI Designer)

🛠️

Tools

Apply feedback, document changes, and record a walkthrough video (Loom) to explain updates.



Review and approve deliverables on your own schedule. I provide final designs in Figma for your feedback, with formal approvals tracked seamlessly via Jira, Trello, or your preferred project management tool.

5.

DEVELOPER HANDOFF

(UI Designer → Developers)

TOOLS

- Provide assets and specs via Figma Dev Mode or Zeplin (if used internally).

- Include a style guide and component library for consistency.

- Share a recorded handoff video (Loom) to walk developers through the design.

WHY THIS
WORKFLOW WORKS

Fully asynchronous and structured

Clear feedback loops using comments/forms

Reduced ambiguity through visual annotations and video walkthroughs

Efficient handoff with all specs and documentation in one place

Jajang was fantastic to work with. He's a very good designer and always made sure I was taken care off. Despite my many changes that i'm sure drove him crazy, Jajang went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied. Excellent communication with Jajang and an overall wonderful experience. Will hire again!

Jajang worked with a very tight deadline I had and delivered excellent work. He was patient and easy to work with and his design and prototyping skills are above average. I was very pleased. I will certainly use him again for future website work.
