Not sure if this is true for everyone, but I've consistently found it easier to start with a compact layout for mobile, and expand from there to larger layouts for other devices than to go the other way. So, if you design for mobile first, you might find it easier when you have to expand to larger displays. The caveat is that you have to be a bit more conscious as you scale up about how things look on really big screens (a layout made for a FHD screen size first is more likely to scale well to QHD than one made for a much smaller screen first).
