Don’t condition your solution by designing
everything in your head at this point
It probably means you need to rethink some
things or just justify your decisions better
The stakeholders love logic,
so use it to your advantage.
Everyone will be happier if the whole
project is better. If a client is part of
the process, they will understand
your ideas better and even defend
them alongside you.
Your ego is your worst enemy, while you can’t
remove it from the process, you’re going to
keep getting frustrated, clients will hate
working with you.
A solution that the
business will believe
in and invest in.
Solve the right problem,
not the problem you
think needs solving
Solve the right problem, not
the problem you think needs
solving
Awards? Recognition?
Designer, take yourselves more seriously
