An accurate representation of the many elements that come together to form a singular system and how different components of a circuit are connected. Schematics are found and associated with electronics and their circuitry, but you may also encounter them in other areas outside the realm of pure electronics. The diagrams use symbols such as dots, squares, rectangles, graphic elements, outlines, drawings and are also known by different names such as wire or circuit diagrams. 

If you’ve worked like me in the past on Information Architecture to improve findability, with UI/UX Designers on a workflow or wire-frame, or with a strategic planner on a mind map or customer journey, you will thoroughly enjoy the process of working with a hardware team to create schematics for any project, concept or creative tech pursuit.

You can begin with just a basic scribble, doodle or outline on the white board before you get down to designing it with your design partner and hardware team. And you can work on one hardware project to absorb, learn and get the confidence to take on more such work.

It's always great when our creative team often finds itself at the intersection of new projects, entirely new practices, processes, tools and implementation methods. That's how we get the confidence to learn by doing. 

It gives you an insight into how each and every component of the solution talks to each other and gives a holistic view of the build.
