Sometimes designers take the easier step to upgrade and add features to an existing design to fit more into the life of users and their needs, rather than making a whole new design from scratch. This makes the design process faster. Also, the users would have the same feel of the previous design with a touch of upgrades, rather than having to start getting to know how to interact with it over again.
Designers conduct research and user interviews on the target audience, undersstand their pain points, then use that information to come upwith a set of design principles to admit while designing. They need to maintain he direct relationship between the interview results and the UI design.
After the interview, they use the response of the users to come up with ideas to solve the ideal problem for the initial phase, then make a visual storyboard and wireframes to study how users will explore the new feature.
In summary, designers blend the familiarity of the existing design with innovative upgrades, all while maintaining a strong connection between user research findings and the evolving UI design. This approach not only streamlines the design process but also ensures that user needs remain at the forefront of the creative process.
