The process is a tool, not a trophy.
What matters is how well we respond when reality shifts.
Our value isn’t in repeating a framework, if it were, anyone or anything could replace us.
The real power as a product designer has never been in following steps.
It’s in our ability to adapt, interpret context, and make the right call when the rules don’t fit.
Strong take. Adaptability is the real skill, not just following a framework.
The double diamond is useful, but knowing when to bend it is what makes a great designer.
