You see your design clearly in your mind. Your stakeholders see something different. This gap? It's not about the quality of your design. It's about translating that vision into something everyone can understand and connect with. Here's what typically happens: ➜ Architects focus on technical excellence ➜ Stakeholders focus on experience and impact ➜ The disconnect leads to revisions, delays, and frustration The solution isn't just better visuals. It's about bridging perspectives. At Forma Studio, we don't just create architectural illustrations. We translate your vision into a story that resonates with everyone involved - from investors to end users. How? By showing not just what your design looks like, but how it feels to be there. ❓What's the biggest misunderstanding you've faced when presenting a design to investors❓

Prepared design directions for a client project. The next step is putting together design concepts. Will share that soon!

The most powerful designs don’t come from working alone—they’re built when architect and client create together. Let me share a successful story from one of my architect clients. Mike, who used to feel like he was always at odds with his clients. He would present what he envisioned were perfect designs, but the revisions kept piling up, and it often felt like an uphill battle. Then he embraced a collaborative design process, and that were everything changed. Instead of presenting a “finished” idea upfront, he invited his clients into the journey early on. Sketches, concept discussions, and quick feedback meetings became his go-to tools. The results? Clients felt more invested, fewer revisions, faster approvals, and—most importantly—stronger relationships built on trust and shared vision. Remember, when you collaborate with your clients, you’re not just designing a home. You’re designing a space that truly reflects their dreams, their lifestyle. The journey becomes as important as the destination, and that’s where the magic happens. After 17 years of working with 453+ architect clients, I tested several things to help architects improve engagement with their clients. 2 decades of learning and perfecting the best ways for Architects to build a connection with Clients, helped me see what works and what does not work. I made a FREE 3-min video with a Roadmap you can follow, that reveals exactly how to get clients excited with your designs from day 1. Comment: "Excited", and I will Direct Message the Roadmap to you. #Architects #Collaborativedesign #Clientengagement #Roadmap #Framework

What is the hardest thing about selecting a new design consultant?

Design Thinking requires you to: * Emphatize * Define * Ideate * Prototype * Test Because of its flexible nature, it can be applied not only in product design but in almost everything - architecture, business, education, or law. Done right, it can make a huge difference in how we create products, design spaces, and build business models. In this comprehensive article, I examined 25 architecture websites that have used design thinking to showcase their work by understanding their audience's needs. So, if you're an architect or an architecture enthusiast looking for inspiration on how to better serve the needs of the people you design for, check this out: https://lnkd.in/gWm_E7Hq Photo by Danist Soh on Unsplash

Struggling to craft effective architecture and design documents for your innovative product? Let's dive into how a highly skilled technical team approaches this intricate process. 🌟Imagine constructing a complex and elegant building. Before you even lay the first brick, you'll need detailed architectural plans to ensure every component fits perfectly, right? Similar to this, after an innovative product's functional specifications are set, the highly experienced technical team defines the product's architecture just like a skilled architect. They determine the product's blueprint: the components, how they interconnect, and the timeline for its creation. In doing so, they keep a close eye on hardware requirements and carve out an interface design that fosters efficient component interaction. But how are all these intricate details communicated within a team? Component-based black box design documents come into play. These documents clearly outline the details of each component and drive the product's implementation phase. 👩💻💡 And this process isn't just for the technical whizzes amongst us—it's essential knowledge for every senior manager, director, and founder. Understanding this ensures you communicate effectively with your technical team, set achievable timelines, and unleash the full potential of your product. 📈 These crystal-clear documents lead to a smoother implementation and realization process and help avoid unnecessary surprises or setbacks along the way. It's like having a detailed user manual when assembling a new piece of furniture. By understanding every part and how they work together, you save time and avoid the dreaded 'missing screws' scenario. The process is a dance, a careful interplay between technical expertise and clear, structured communication. It's part science, part art, and the more you understand, the better equipped you are to lead your team. So, are you ready to take the first steps in creating awe-inspiring architecture and design documents for your next innovative product? Let's do it together! 💪🏼. #InnovativeArchitectures #ProductDesign #TeamLeadership

Here’s a borrowed thought that makes complete sense to me. “Behind every good architect is a good client.” Now, of course, there is no universal definition of what a good client or architect is because it can vary from person to person. But, generally, a good client is someone who: 🌲 listens to the designer’s ideas 🌲 trusts his vision 🌲 shares his aspirations and budget with clarity 🌲 communicates when necessary 🌲 believes in the professional And, if you get a client like that, you’ll be able to be a good designer who: 🥗 understands client needs 🥗 designs as per the brief 🥗 shares their creative inputs 🥗 open to client ideas 🥗 has a strong hold over the project Basically, a good client brings out the goodness in the designer. And, to get that good client- you must identify your “ideal” client, who is someone that aligns with your values, working style, and vision. So, if you are a designer who is taking up every lead that comes their way, my advice would be to learn how to qualify them. Because your best work will come to surface only when you work with clients who allow you the mental peace and provide you the bandwidth to explore your full potential. What do you think about this?

Understanding business models and power structures is fundamental to practicing human-centered or life-centered design; otherwise, designers will likely end up practicing extraction-centered design.
