Hi Jayson Evans, This is Adnan From Atlanta, US
I am familiar with Adobe XD and Zeplin and can easily implement your screens for SAAS backend and I do follow these basic principles while designing the UI/UX,
1. The design should focus on an experience
2. People scan websites, they don’t read them
3. Users crave simplicity and clarity
4. Know where to get creative and where to use common design patterns
5. Design to capture someone’s attention above the fold rather than design everything above the fold.
6. Scrolling is often faster than paging
7. Build a nice responsive design vs. just responsive design
Regards
Adnan
