Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

Correct! "Suppose" means "assume" here. The speaker wants to suggest a hypothetical situation, so she has used "suppose" here. You can understand her as meaning "assume/imagine you'd like to start a new project." Ex: I suppose if the weather's nice, we could have a picnic outside. Ex: Suppose you won the lottery. What would you do with the money?
