Showing less can actually build more trust.
For years, I used to flood clients with sketches, unfinished concepts, and raw ideas — thinking they’d appreciate “the process.” Some did. But honestly? It often worked against them.
This time, I built 90% of the deck around one bold direction. It was strong, it was confident… but it still wasn’t the right fit. That’s the reality of design — sometimes you swing and miss.
Here’s what I’ve learned:
✨ Clients don’t need to see the messy middle.
✨ They need to see ideas that are tested, refined, and ready to stand on their own.
✨ Fewer, stronger concepts > dozens of half-finished ones.
Excited to share more of this project soon.
💭 Do you prefer showing clients the journey (sketches, explorations) or just the destination (refined concepts)?
