HANDSHAKE / CONTENT DESIGN FOUNDATIONS
strategy artifacts
As a content designer supporting multiple teams and initiatives at once, it’s impossible for me to work on everything. I have to prioritize what I work on to make the biggest impact. But I never leave my designers hanging.
I created a slew of Figma templates so designers without my support can think about content strategically and holistically.
content design checklist
A comprehensive list of content design actions and questions at every step of the process.
your basic content strategy workshop
My favorite content strategy questions to ask at the beginning of a project. Typically done as a workshop with design, PM, and engineering, with stakeholders and leadership as needed.
OOUX workshop
OOUX is a UX design metaphilosophy I’m always considering in my work. This template surfaces common OOUX mistakes we want to avoid, particularly when revamping a current experience.
content wireframes
Content wireframes is a great way to start the design process, even before design wireframes are created. They let us organize ideas, primary messages, hierarchy, steps and calls-to-action without pushing a single pixel.
taxonomy exercise
Taxonomy is a crucial component of intuitive products. They make you think about words and naming at a systems level. And it’s often overlooked. This template helps teams make sure the words we use and introduce fit in with our language system.
