The more I build, test and show people what I’m doing, the clearer the gaps become.
The more I build, test and show people what I’m doing, the clearer the gaps become. So yeah, still building.
Progress Update y'all,
Progress Update y'all, My favourite kind of progress is when something that frustrated me earlier in the week finally starts making sense.
I like looking back at what I was building at the beginning of every week because somehow I always forget how much changed in just a few days.

These days I’m paying much more attention to those first few minutes of using something. If I have to stand beside you and explain where to click, I probably still have work to do.

Still on feedback!
Still on feedback! I’ve noticed that once I spend too long building something, I stop seeing some of the obvious problems with it. In my head everything makes sense because, well, I built it 😂 Then someone uses it for the first time and asks one very simple question that makes me realise I’ve been designing for myself this whole time. I’m learning to show my work earlier now. Slight embarrassment is cheaper than rebuilding everything later.
