Listen actively

Take the time to understand the client’s feedback fully. Even if it seems off base, there’s often a valuable insight behind their comments.

Clarify and ask questions

If feedback is vague, ask for specifics. Understanding the why behind their requests can help you address the real concerns without compromising the design’s integrity.

Stay positive

Approach feedback as a chance to improve. Avoid taking criticism personally—see it as an opportunity to refine and elevate your work.

Propose solutions

Instead of just making changes, explain your reasoning and suggest alternative solutions that might better achieve the desired outcome. Clients appreciate when designers take initiative and offer expert advice.

By embracing feedback and using it to enhance your designs, you’ll not only satisfy your clients but also grow as a designer.
