That is so insightful! Thank you for sharing your experiences as I feel like that perspective is SO needed and appreciated!
That last one really hits home for me as someone who needs to really slow down to grasp a concept. There's a saying I've heard before that goes something like this...

I happen to be a crockpot thinker so when I am designing, I try to think of both perspectives in that way.
Appreciate you sharing and hope my crockpot analogy helped inspire you as well 😄
