Oh boy. The truth in this will resound through the creative universe irrespective of industry. You hire creative people to enhance your image then wont let them do their thing because somehow the tech guy who is engaged with business, operations, and coding knows more than the art guy whose sole job is to make beautiful things. The portfolio looks crap for such creative sector employees. If the bosses knew better than the help they hired they should give them the exact designs they want and need. Does it make sense to ask the artist to put their heart and mind into researching the best designs just to receive comments like " nah man, this is not working, this wont work, i dont like it ". Tech and Business people should never lead the artists and vice versa. Period. The former should make sure the product or service works flawlessly & The latter should make sure that it looks good and works in the market. #design #personalview #saas #hiring
