Feedback is fuel, not fire. 🔥
In the creative world, your work is personal—but the critique shouldn't be. Here are 8 ways to turn criticism into a growth engine:
Depersonalize: You are not your work.
Listen first: Absorb before you react.
Create distance: Separate your ego from the pixels.
Clarify: Ask "why" to understand the "how."
Seek action: Filter for what can actually be improved.
Show gratitude: Appreciate the time they took to look.
Pause: A 10-second breath saves a 10-minute argument.
Iterate: Use the data to make the work better.
Constructive criticism is a shortcut to a better version of your craft. Don't dismiss it—design with it.
