## Approach

Zach adapts the process to the problem rather than following a template. He works in seven steps: charting the course, deep-dive research, creative exploration, concept to reality, hands-on validation, engineering the gap, and launch and beyond. He uses AI (Claude Code, Claude Design, Figma Make, Midjourney) for exploration, research synthesis and fast prototypes, and builds production components, tokens and layouts by hand.
