KW: I think the plan is fine..... except it might be a little ambitious - I think you could actually aim to just focus on the user flow and get some feedback on it before 17 Dec and then enjoy a bit more of your holidays. Maybe come back to the information architecture in the new year?

What did you struggle with?

  • One of my family members is very sick, and I am struggled with the sad emotions coming with this news.
    • KW: I'm so sorry to hear this. As we discussed in the meeting, take the time that you need to take care of yourself and connect with your family.
