01 — The brief determines the process. How you interpret it determines the outcome. Break it down, understand its components, work in order.
02 — Inspiration is the smaller part. Craft, iteration and problem-solving are where design actually happens. Sometimes the fabric leads. Let it.

04 — Educating the market is part of the work. Making your process visible shifts how customers understand price and value. Good for your practice and good for the industry.
05 — Constraints drive change. Friction in the process forces decisions and reveals what matters. Navigate it, don’t avoid it.
06 — On AI: useful, not replacing. AI can enhance parts of the process. The human nuance — your particular lens — is harder to replicate.
