Design is messy
My approach to design is somewhat wild. Like a punk kid trying things out to see what works. Of course I get some basic understanding of the desired outcomes, but I don’t know everything, and I don’t want to know everything at the start. The last thing I am looking for is reading elaborate documentation, or having detailed conversations about things I probably will not understand, or simply forget, details that don’t matter that much at the start.
This approach seems to work OK for me. I’ve done a number of projects quite successfully…

Design is messy. It starts in all kinds of places, it is propelled by all kinds of things… direction changes randomly…
Think by doing: sketch (thinking on paper), build a prototype, try things out.
