The designer must learn to listen and strive at all times and in understanding what the client wants, but he must also have the ability to advise him and communicate his ideas correctly so as not to fall into misunderstandings, never assume that everything has been said and less that he is the owner of the truth.

Moreover, empathy is vital in the field of design, if we do not put ourselves in the client's shoe at any time, it will be very difficult to come up with a successful creation for him and that is that every job that comes to your hands is an opportunity to create, to innovate and must assume it as such, since the result of your work and the acceptance of the client are what will ultimately say if it was a good project or not, so give yourself the opportunity to create something from nothing and make it shine with its own light, you must believe in your ideas and your principles, because if you believe it, the client will too.
