Working with clients can feel like a game of dodgeball—just when you think everything’s going smoothly, a curveball comes out of nowhere! The key? Stay nimble. Here’s how you can dodge and pivot: Master communication—set clear expectations upfront, or you might find yourself designing their neighbor’s birthday flyer. Revisit the scope often—because their “quick adjustment” could turn into an entire brand overhaul. Document everything—so today’s small request doesn’t become tomorrow’s massive headache.

When facing unexpected client demands, the key is clear communication and adaptability. First, I listen carefully to understand the new requirements, ensuring we are aligned on priorities. I then assess how these changes affect the project scope and timeline, discussing any necessary adjustments with the client. Being flexible, yet realistic about what can be achieved, helps maintain trust and keeps the project on track. By staying calm and solution-focused, I manage to meet client expectations without compromising on quality.
