im also doing it mostly the blender way.
first i figure out the needed functions and size constraints the thing needs to be and adhere to that while modeling around that in blender.
then i either print or get a prototype going to see if i missed something. and to make sure ergonomics and whatnot are good if thats needed.
sketching on paper is a good way for me to brainstorm ideas when im not 100% sure about some given components(pcbs, hardware..), sizes, functions, looks.
my downfall happens when i pretty much locked in the design and it works, and then for some reason try to cram even more functions/extras into the thing.
