Soft skill is as important as design skill while working. To enhance the efficiency of my collaboration with others, I used pyramid principles when talking and making presentations. The basic idea is that anything can be generalized to a central point.

As an interaction designer, I have to gain the ability to independent thinking. When l got a new requirement, the first step was to see how competitive it was to solve this problem. Sometimes I take their design for granted without thinking about why, which leads that I cannot explain why that makes sense when asked by others. Then, I changed. I first do some research to make sure the requirement is validated and understand the meaning of the requirements. Then I try to come up with a solution without seeing the competitor, to find out the logic and connection between the interaction solution and the problem. After that, I looked up competitive design to figure out how others solved the problem and iterated on mine.
