Michael Carter, Digital Product Designer

My Mission:
Design for the ones doing the work, without the budget.

Hi, I’m Kai, a Brisbane-based graphic designer aiming to realise your branding and visual communication goals. I balance creative and strategic thinking through a disciplined approach to research, process, and presentation.

My Workflow

My approach is underpinned by the Design Thinking Principles.

1

Project Brief Analysis

Every project starts by analysing the brief and understanding user needs to uncover core goals, challenges, and audience. Getting clear on the big picture early ensures total alignment before any design work begins.

2

Finding the Focus

Initial insights and research are synthesized into a clear, actionable plan. Pinpointing the main objective ensures every creative choice is purposeful and grounded in problem-solving.

3

Research & Defining the Focus

Background research and audience insights are synthesized into a clear, actionable plan. Pinpointing the main objective ensures every creative choice is purposeful and grounded in real context.

4

Bringing It to Life

The strongest concepts are translated into tangible drafts and realistic mockups. This allows the project to be visualised in real-world contexts—from print materials to digital applications—before final execution.

5

Review & Polish

Work is evaluated against the original project goals and refined through feedback. Detailed adjustments ensure the final outcome is cohesive, functional, and ready for launch.
