We love this picture because it illustrates the relevance of factors on time. How long will it take before the snd runs through her fingers? It depends on whether she tightens her grasp, moves her fingers, or parts her hands. The design process is very similar with many factors influencing each design, and many of those factors are out of our hands. This is why, when we say that we have a waiting list and will be in touch, we cannot give a definitive time.
