Fail forwards of my career

Mistakes I've learned from

Stating "we will create the best app with the most satisfying designs". That was a bad idea.

Take away: State clear expectation and delivery outcomes. Otherwise you design and design and design...

Assuming the client knows the design process.

Take away: Understand what they know and how they work and be open to also adjust the process to their needs. Otherwise you work on 8 screens for 1 year...

​

Adding more people to a project to deliver faster.

Take away: New team member deserve on-boarding time which is often underestimated. 

Not trusting in my own skills and let others kill my mojo. 

Take away: Don't take critique personal, but also point out if it felt personal.​
