This project in particular helped me to change my mindset when it comes to my work. When you are learning something new it is easy to play it safe, but in order to make good designs you have to push it farther than you thought you could and then learn to refine what you have done. I hope to take this concept into my future work and improve my refinement skills as well as my boldness in pushing my work outside of what makes me comfortable.
