You don’t have to get the first version right. You just have to start. One thing I’ve genuinely started to appreciate about Product Design is that you don’t need to have the perfect answer on day one. You need to create a strong enough starting point to learn from. For me, that means starting with something simple, clean and clear. A foundation that can be discussed, challenged and improved. That’s exactly what happened with this sign-up flow. The first version was straightforward. But once I started getting feedback and discussing the experience with the team, I began looking beyond the screens themselves. I started asking: Is this genuinely easy for the user? Does it solve the actual product requirement? Does it align with the PM and stakeholder expectations? Does it contribute to the business goal? Can we remove friction without adding unnecessary complexity? Is there a better way to make the experience more flexible and inclusive? And somewhere along the way, my perspective on feedback changed. I no longer see feedback as “What’s wrong with my design?” I see it as “What can we make better from here?” Honestly, I enjoy finding that next opportunity for improvement. Because every iteration is a chance to make the experience more thoughtful, not just visually, but from a user, product and business perspective. And I think that’s an important part of being a Product Designer. We’re not designing in isolation. We’re constantly balancing user needs, product requirements, business goals, technical feasibility and stakeholder perspectives to move toward a solution that works in the real world. So, for me, iteration isn’t about changing a screen again and again. It’s about learning, questioning assumptions, responding to feedback and making better decisions with every version. Start simple. Listen carefully. Iterate intentionally. Build with purpose.
