PRD to UX Translation

Overview

Translate product requirements into UX foundations through 6 forced designer mindset passes. Each pass asks different questions that visual-first approaches skip.

Core principle: UX foundations come BEFORE visual specifications. Mental models, information architecture, and cognitive load analysis prevent "pretty but unusable" designs.

When to Use

• Translating PRD/spec to mockup tool input (Google Stitch, Figma, etc.)
• Creating UX specifications from feature requirements
• Preparing design handoff documents
• Before any visual design work

Output Location

Write the UX specification to a file in the same directory as the source PRD.
