Reflection

"Less is more"

We often tend to think outside the box creations inspired by trending designs; but most of the times reusing out of the box legacy patterns can help make right design choices for existing product users.

​

"Seek feedback from across"

Involving development (at least front end) and quality analysts at the early stage of design certainly help make feasible and viable design choices and avoid implementation complexities.
