“Thinking about design is hard, but not thinking about it can be disastrous.”

Thinking about design is probably one of the toughest challenges that a designer could face in his projects and perhaps even in his career. Despite these, we, designers, do our best to overcome this and not get swayed by analysis paralysis or in other words, get stuck in thinking. The worst part is not getting stuck but instead, it is not thinking about design that is truly horrific. I, as a designer, do my best to not get stuck in paralysis analysis nor in not thinking of any design whatsoever. It is important for me to be proactive rather than reactive to the situation. It’s quite the challenge but it is worth it.
