**Step 1. Research for ideas**
- Watched videos about how height adjustable things work

**Step 2.  Scratching my ideas out on paper**
- First thought: Where do I start?
- 2nd thought:  Maybe I should just buy an adjustable desktop
- Balancing design with functionality
- Seeing designs take shape made me realize the design errors that weren't apparent in my mind
- I'm glad I drew in pencil

**Step 3. Learning the design software "Autodesk Fusion 360"**
- Observations
    - Steep learning curve for someone without a CAD or Design background
    - Not self explanatory
    - Millions of mistakes ('control + z' and I are now best friends)
    - After the initial frusteration it became fun and addicting
    - After the two hours it took me to design 5 relatively simple parts I felt like I could navigate Fusion 360 relatively well on this simple level
