Design process: mid-progress or, the messy in-between

In portfolio reviews I can't help but to be curious about the real path that people take from concept to final product. What role did the designer actually play on their team? There are a lot of messy weeks in that stage in-between where we're not proud of our work, but it does get us one step closer, hour by hour to the place we actually want to be. 

Below I'm sharing some of that very messy work that shows the honest in-between process of taking something from concept, to definition, to first iteration along on the path to shipping a product we were all proud of.
