Understand Their Individual Strengths and Weaknesses

Design encompasses more than one thing. As such, your designer may be more talented in one area than another. For example, they might be great at interaction design, but they lack a bit of artistic flair when it comes to visual design.

It’s important to understand this when interacting with your designer. If one aspect of their work isn’t 100% up to your expectations on their first try — it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re a bad designer. It just means that you’ll need to work around their strengths and weaknesses.
