One thing I’ve learned as a UI/UX designer is that we all start from the same place.
We’re taught that colors carry meaning;
red is dangerous, green is safe, pink is calm.
And that foundation matters.
But at some point, following those rules too literally starts to limit how you think.
I once heard, “A red button here would make me feel like I did something wrong.”
And I understood it, because that’s exactly how many of us are trained to read color early on.
But design doesn’t live in isolation.
A color that feels intimidating in one system can feel natural in another.
That’s the shift that comes with growth.
You stop asking, “What does this mean universally?”
And start asking, “What does this mean here?”
That’s when UX becomes intentional.
Great work David, that's fine

Thanks bruv
if am being honest
when users land on your product and start asking all those question trust me'
you are losing them
so is better to deal with what they can understand,
thats why user research is important
