Believing everything revolves around user experience → Understanding that UX is just one part of the puzzle. It’s not the core driver of business success, but one of many moving pieces within the organization.

Expecting to have all the resources and support to be a great designer → Finding ways to make design work with what you have. Success isn’t about having everything you want – it’s about making the most of what’s available.

Needing all requirements defined before starting → Accepting that clarity comes through the process. Defining requirements is part of the journey, not a precondition.

Waiting for perfect design challenges → Embracing both vague and overly specific challenges. Both are stepping stones in your growth, and both have something to teach you.

Focusing solely on design → Seeking the bigger picture. Understanding the broader business context and being cross-functionally aware is just as crucial as perfecting the design.
