Start with minimum number of parts Combine functions with same part to reduce part count Choose most easy available materials Keep part manufacturing from normal machines Consider tolerance for critical and open up non critical dimensions! Few above and based on need will have to develop more guidelines!

To balance speed and brilliance in design, I: 1. Break down the project into clear, prioritized milestones to focus on key features. 2. Use rapid prototyping tools to quickly test and iterate on ideas. 3. Set time-boxed creative sprints, ensuring innovation without losing momentum. 4. Automate repetitive tasks to free up time for high-impact creative work. 5. Regularly review progress, maintaining quality while optimizing efficiency.

To enhance design process efficiency while maintaining top-notch quality, I would implement iterative testing and feedback loops at each stage, ensuring continuous quality checks. Utilizing design guidelines and best practices would streamline decision-making without compromising standards. I’d also leverage automation tools for repetitive tasks, allowing more focus on creative and critical aspects. Additionally, fostering collaboration among team members would encourage diverse perspectives, helping to catch potential issues early. Finally, setting clear design goals and criteria would ensure that efficiency gains do not come at the expense of the final product’s quality.

Designs play crucial role and to ensure the quality, one needs to keep it simple but informative with standard icons, fonts, color theme of the app/business. Nowadays, animations have also become a good add on to keep the designs more engaging to users. Having a design team to work on these small but easy to understandable to user designs definitely help to keep your quality and better UX

Design is an iterative activity. Design which seems brilliant today might not be perceived brilliant tomorrow. Key steps of design iterations: 1. Articulate your design challenge keeping in mind the needs of the users / problem at hand- Empathise. 2. Clearly articulate and state the requirements / problems that the design aims to address - Define. This will help plan the milestones & priorities of action items. 3. For each of the action items, articulate the assumptions, brainstorm and identify solutions to the problem - Ideate. 4. Using available tools, prototype the solution to the design problem - Prototype 5. Try out the solution to the design problem - Test. 6. Re iterate if you need to refine the solution
