Strengthen Your Design Process By Going Semi-Public

by Maria Lorena Lehman

Design Creativity

Get feedback from others that you respect, and I mean more than only your client. Don’t work in a vacuum. By making your work “semi-public” at certain stages (even if “semi-public” means “within your office”), your design will become stronger as you will be able to respond with creative solutions to the different perspectives of what is working or not working within your project. Use the feedback you receive as a way to understand your own design process. After all, design feedback about a design work of yours can give you insight into not only your end result, but about your design process as well.

CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION

If this essay stirred a question, illuminated an idea, or touched something deeper in your own creative journey, I invite you to continue the conversation.

Each month, I reserve a small number of private one-on-one conversations for readers seeking thoughtful guidance and deeper dialogue around creativity, architecture, music, meaning, purpose, or the work they feel called to bring into the world.

These are not coaching sessions, business consultations, or productivity workshops. They are dedicated spaces for reflection, creative guidance, intellectual exploration, and discerning what comes next.

People often bring:

• A creative project or new venture

• Questions of purpose and calling

• Architecture, art, music, or writing pursuits

• Career transitions and life crossroads

• Ideas they wish to develop more deeply

• Simply a desire for meaningful conversation

Whether you are an artist, designer, architect, composer, writer, educator, founder, student, or lifelong learner, our conversation will be shaped around what matters most to you.

A thoughtful exchange of ideas, questions, and possibilities.
