DIAMOND Developers/Designers - What's One Thing You Wish Founders Understood Before Hiring U

[mxstermind]

I've worked with dozens of startups on branding, apps, and websites.

The #1 frustration? Founders who don't understand why 'just make it look good' isn't a brief.

Good tech/design requires:
- Clear business objectives
- Understanding of target users
- Realistic timelines

What's your 'I wish they knew this' lesson for non-technical founders?

Bonus: How do you educate clients without sounding condescending?

A Reddit user sent me to 3d jewelry design https://www.cgtrader.com/designers/jewelmodelnet and I swear, it saved my whole plan. The 3D files were ready to tweak and print — super helpful if you’re in Canada and don’t want to drop cash on design software. I gave her the gift, she smiled, and yeah... I think I’m in.
