Wireframing is one of the most crucial steps in the UX design process, helping designers brainstorm and structure ideas before jumping into high-fidelity designs. In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through my 5-step wireframing process, breaking down everything from defining the purpose of your wireframe to sketching it out effectively. Whether you're a beginner UX designer or an experienced product designer looking to refine your process, this video will provide practical tips to create better user flows, UI layouts, and interactive prototypes.

Many people think wireframes are just low-fidelity sketches, but I believe they should be detailed enough to help ideate quickly and efficiently. We'll start by understanding the purpose of the screen, identifying key user actions, and listing essential UI components like buttons, text fields, icons, and sliders. I’ll also share my favorite platforms for UI/UX inspiration, showing you how to analyze existing designs to improve your own wireframing process.

In this tutorial, I’ll sketch a to-do list app wireframe, demonstrating how to structure elements based on user priorities and interactions. You’ll learn how to balance functionality and simplicity, ensuring that the design remains intuitive, user-friendly, and visually clear.

Wireframing doesn’t have to be perfect—it’s about iterating and experimenting. I recommend creating 2-3 wireframe variations to explore different ways of enhancing the user experience.
