Yup! The more experience you get doing steps 2-4, the better you'll get at step 1. I am not a great designer, its not uncommon for me to start planning out class structures and to reach a point where I get stuck and can't visualize everything as well as I wish I could and just start writing something. You could easily go look at a project I finished and pick out the parts that I slammed together vs the parts that were well thought out. Always something to learn I suppose
