Don't just design the product, design the experience of use.
You need to have a well designed product, but that's not enough. Think through the entire user experience from how someone will learn about your product, start engaging with it, and how they’ll feel afterwards.

Show Don't Tell - Don't just explain what you're trying to do in words. Think of videos, visuals and experiments you can create that communicate what you're trying to achieve.
