Key things I've learnt
Here are a few key takeaways I’ve learned over my years as a designer. They’ve come in handy for me, hopefully they’ll come in handy for you too.

Design is similar to mathematics; understanding the problem simplifies proposing a solution.
Precision and Purpose
I focus on design details, understanding the core problem, and identifying success metrics.
