Flora Guo's mental models

Their wordsI think it's so important to really be aligned at a conceptual level before we even start moving into like visual experiments and prototypes because I think one trap that we can fall into as designers is coming up with like a bunch of options and then picking one too early.

Their wordsit really shows you that design engineering goes much deeper than the surface of how something looks. It's really having the context and the ability to take an intention and translate it into what the user is actually experiencing.
