					<description><![CDATA[Breaking up with a design is never easy. UX designers know that it takes a lot of work, time and searching to find the perfect design and it&#8217;s not uncommon to get attached to a particular concept. The design process is often full of many ups and downs. As the project progresses, you may find [&#8230;]]]></description>

This falls under something that I don’t work with a lot. Also, a couple of the properties have similar names, so I had to double check them to make sure I [&#8230;]]]></description>
