As Luke Wroblewski likes to say "Obvious always wins." Graphs need to be both beautiful and easy to understand for the target audience. 

Next I decide on the type of layout for each form factor. I've designed for anything from old iPhones to 50" monitors.  

Once it's clear what I'm trying to achieve, I map out customer journeys and flows. What order do the tasks need to be performed in? This is a good time to look for how new technology can better serve the user. 

Rather than jump straight into the design, I do preliminary research to analyze the task I'm designing. Activities such as Know/Feel/Do are also an opportunity to get stakeholders involved. 

What is the outcome the user wants? That question forms the starting point for my design process. From there I can come up with new ways of helping users achieve their goals faster and with more ease..
