Here's how you can avoid the potential drawbacks of not seeking feedback in industrial design.

Una gran ense?anza para la vida personal y profesional es aprender a aceptar las críticas, ser humildes y reconocer que siempre podemos hacer las cosas de mejor manera, pues nadie nace sabiendo todo. Es importante saber diferenciar una crítica de un ataque, nada en la vida es personal pero tampoco debemos permitir que desmeriten nuestro trabajo, si una persona hace un comentario este debe ser para dar su punto de vista y proponer mejoras sobre lo construido, resaltar los errores no como fallas, sino como oportunidades de mejora, la comunicación es clave para alcanzar la mejor versión de todo lo que trabajemos

PUT YOURSELF IN YOUR USER'S SHOES!! Try creating a space and consider all the factors that the user can go through. Taking several case studies of users in similar situations. Also, try reaching out to people in similar circumstances that the user can be into in experience of the product/service and weighing their pros and cons for the same. eg. When creating packaging, we can consider the cooking process of how the product form can enhance the experience without external products that could be needed. Like pasta packaging with an inbuilt portioning nozzle or shoe box that up to stacking can be used as shoe racks over time. I hope to add value through this article

Al ser dise?ador es inevitable ser empático. Para que un producto, proyecto o servicio en el que trabajemos sea exitoso es necesario tener en consideración los puntos de vista de todas las partes interesadas, sean internas o externas, porque finalmente buscamos brindar valor en todo lo que hacemos, entender a nuestro usuario y/o consumidor y cumplir sus expectativas brindando confianza es clave para lograr un buen cierre de proyecto.

Communication is not only through words but also receiving it through non-verbal cues. creating a Say-hear-do-see-pains-gains empathy map can streamline documenting the process. The user being comfortable with any mention of similarity in the background or similar situation as the user can help designers build the initial rapport during the user study/research phase of design.

Incorporating feedback into your industrial design process is crucial for creating products that are user-centered, innovative, and market-ready. By embracing critique, gathering diverse insights, adopting an iterative process, enhancing communication skills, utilizing various feedback channels, and committing to continuous learning, you can avoid the pitfalls of not seeking feedback and ensure the success of your design projects.

One of the best ways to understand the effectiveness of your industrial design is to take it to consumers on a test basis and in parallel take it through the manufacturing process on a trial basis. These two activities are sure to give a clear picture of how good the ID is.
