1. Don't skip a step. Throughout the project, there were many times where I wanted to get to the visual design elements of the project, but I made sure to put 100% effort into each step of the process.
2. Find a balance between details and big picture. As I was designing, I sometimes got stuck on the little details, so I made sure to go back to my goal statements to recenter my focus and priorities.
3. Always go back to the user. I made sure that each step of my process was centering the user's needs and experience based on the user interviews, and that I was always designing with accessibility in mind.
