Designing with heart.
Today, I want to discuss emotions and their impact on the design process. Have you had a situation where you start the design process, and you don't have any inspiration or idea of what to do next?

Or another situation where you had so many ideas and needed help figuring out where to start?
These situations happen because we feel the wrong emotions before work starts. It's not only inspiration but also the fact that we used to think about something more.
