In this episode, we talk about a sensitive topic for most designers… feedback. Whether it’s client feedback or internal feedback, often designers get offended and even feel hurt by feedback on their work.

Hopefully, today’s episode empowers you to keep doing great work, stay gracious in taking on feedback, and always keep an open mind. The biggest reality check we recommend is to remember that no matter how much of your blood, sweat, and tears went into a particular project, the client is still actually the owner of the work, and they are the ones who need to live with it once you walk away and take on your next project.

Discussion Points:

• Getting used to feedback
• Definition of feedback
• Feedback for students
