Decide what the product must contain, expose, protect, and let the user reach before the outside form locks bad assumptions in.
Connected hardware

What shapes the experience
The choices people feel every time they use it.
Make every interaction belong
Buttons, indicators, charging, docking, access, service, and handling should all feel like they came from the same product.
Turn constraints into intentional choices
Work with electrical, firmware, mechanical, and supplier teams so technical limits shape the product without taking it over.
Prototype the question, not the whole product
Choose appearance, ergonomic, proof-of-concept, or integrated prototypes based on what the team needs to learn next.
