About
What's in a name?
FFBuro? Well the FF is Function/Form, the design principal that Form follows Function or in simpler terms Thinking before Doing.
This is the foundation for how I approach design as a problem solving practice. The goal of this approach is to ensure the intuitive nature of creativity is rationalised through thinking and process. Promoting the objective over the subjective, always striving for an appropriate design rational.
Thinking
Taking on the bigger picture, researching, plotting, questioning and positioning the problem – sometimes even turning it on its head. Design Thinking as a strategic exercise to deliver solutions designed to tackle human (not user) needs.
Strategy

Doing
Interactions, CTAs, typography, colour, accessibility, purpose. There is a lot more to appropriate human-centred designs than what we see on the surface, or the latest trends on Dribble.
