What Most Designers Do
Stay quiet when things are unclear.
Wait for someone to provide structure.
What Experienced Designers Do
Create clarity from partial information.
Write an inventory:
What we know
What we assume
What we don’t know
Then share it and ask for gaps.
Why It Matters
Ambiguity grows in silence.
Structured uncertainty moves projects forward.
Today’s Action
For your current project, create a one-page inventory:
Facts
Assumptions
Open questions
Share it with the team and ask: “What am I missing?”
