The designer had some creative skills. She did not do any research on her own. Therefore, extra messages back and forth were needed. I am a designer myself, but with so many projects to do, I outsource my personal ones to save time. With some time and more work, she will be great. I would recommend her for smaller projects.
Thank you so much for the suggestions and the creative direction that you had for the project. It was a great experience to work on your project. Thank you for sharing your experience. I'll definitely follow up.
