## Challenges & solutions

Working on projects like these is both challenging and incredibly fun. Designing screens for new ideas and products in a world that's developing at a rapid pace forces you to design adaptive design systems that help users understand new functionality.

## Conclusion & learnings

Working on new products without any proven design strategies requires close collaboration with the users. Being open for feedback and ideas is key when building a product that is constantly evolving. Keeping the visual styling simple and accessible helped a lot with quickly adapting the product and implementing new features.
