Encouraging Early and Open Sharing

Sharing work early in the design process is crucial for receiving meaningful feedback and fostering collaboration. By maintaining transparency and allowing team members to view initial sketches or concepts, designers can avoid emotional attachments that cloud judgment when critiques arise. This practice not only demystifies the design process but also encourages a sense of investment among all team members, leading to enhanced pride and ownership in the final product. Additionally, implementing processes like 'Polish Reviews' ensures high standards are met while also promoting the growth of the design team's skills through collaborative scrutiny.
