Design Philosophy
Design should solve users pain points first—features, business goals, etc will follow automatically.
Any consumer product experience—is not just about an app. A holistic experience could have an offline experience (think retail, pick up points, customer service outlets) to online (app, web, raising tickets, easy to use) to aftersales (solving tickets quickly, operational experiences). Hence product and design should think beyond just one facet of an experience and look at solving the pain points hollistically.
