Accepting criticism has been a major part of my growth in this internship. Sometimes I get feedback that challenges my original ideas and it can be hard not to take them personally. However, I’ve started to see that constructive criticism is not about my skills as a designer but about improving the final product. It is part of my job, they are not judging me as a person but judging my work professionally. I’ve learned to view feedback as a tool for growth and as something that can help me become a better designer in the long run.
