Great read!

Design it exactly Twice. If you cant afford that design it once. Twice will also not be enough. Attempt to approach a local maximum because all design has competing values. Design for yourself, or someone you like more, or at least someone with a lot of money.

Dont fall in love with your first design and spend days weeks years developing it before getting feedback, or comparing it to the second design you never made. Also make sure the committee all gets a say and all their feedback is in the new design, to approach the global maximum design that eats all other designs.

Be sure to ship a design, but also a good one, that's better than the other one. On budget. With good taste.
