Describe your creative or development process. What are the major steps?
It varies, but typically you’ll start with defining what you’re trying to solve, business goals and user needs, and those become requirements that you document in a creative brief. Next, look for inspiration, sketch ideas, iterate, design and refine. When you’re done, reflect on the project, and ask questions. Always keep learning. Always improve.

Probably to California for family gatherings with the in-laws.
