03 / Approach

A disciplined process, adapted to the problem.

The work stays transparent from evidence to implementation, with decisions made at the right level before detail is added.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Understand the business context, users, evidence, constraints and what success should mean.

  2. 02

    Frame

    Define the right problem, prioritize opportunities and align the experience before polishing screens.

  3. 03

    Design

    Shape flows, concepts, prototypes and visual systems; test assumptions early and iterate deliberately.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    Refine the system, document decisions and support implementation so the design works in practice.

04 / The studio

Senior design thinking, without layers of handoff.

CurlyDesigner Studio is led by Victoria Panshin, a product designer and design educator with experience across enterprise software, ecommerce, services and connected physical-digital environments.

The studio model keeps the work direct: the person framing the problem is also the person designing the solution and supporting the team through implementation.

“Victoria was deliberate, collaborative, and consistently focused on creating the best experience.”
