Quick Thoughts

Spent 3 hours adding animations nobody asked for. Got so caught up in making things 'perfect' that I forgot the whole point was to showcase my work, not my ability to make things bounce.

Maybe good design isn't about showing everything at once. It's about creating space for the important things to breathe. Sometimes the best feature is the one you don't build.

Built a feature without any onboarding. Thought it was 'intuitive.' Watched 3 users struggle with it in testing. Nothing is as obvious as it seems to the person who built it.

There's something liberating about sharing work before it's 'perfect.' Feedback early in the process is worth more than perfection at the end.
