Q

prototyping and iteration

A

instead of initially aiming for perfect solution, ITERATIVE PROTOTYPING is encouraged
–> creating tangible representations of ideas, testing them with users, gathering feedback + refining design based on learnings
–> iterative process means continuous improvement + final solution aligns well with user needs
