👥 Teammates are valuable assets

Since we constantly communicate between designers and engineers, it helps the process of development go efficiently. Besides, we can understand the perspective of engineers and some difficulties of implementing design in advance.

🌱 Questionnaire needs to be well-designed

We realized questions in the interview or survey can be the key foundation of a function or a product. The right questions could lead us to have more precise solutions.
