Accessibility
Keyboard paths, focus order, contrast, readable hierarchy, target sizing, meaningful states, and accessible requirements from the start.

Mobile is not the smaller version.
I design for context, reach, interruption, touch, orientation, and the realities of people using products away from a desk.
