Product Designers are like Scientists
Designers are like scientists as they experiment on various human needs.
Designers design-build and shape the products or ideas by their systematic way and a reliable information method of how the real world works on their observation with positive true and false predicting the future behaviour by experimenting hypothesis just a statement how they think by collecting data from real-world in an unbiased way of positive true and false by observations which match customers expectations.
Designers vs Client Thoughts
There is no right or wrong...You can like blue where the client might not!!
The only thing is the mindset which matches the understanding of client problem ( Clients are not Kids they run a business )
I am a strong introvert and UX designer. Yes, I constantly have to hold presentations, call meetings, and interact with customers and users. My introversion does not stop me from doing any of these things! In fact, my ability to think deeply about people makes me a better UX designer than extroverts who may find it difficult to think deeply about a single topic for an extended time.
Introversion makes it easier for you to relate to software developers, who tend to be an introverted bunch. They’ll find you much more restful to deal with than the typically extroverted sales/marketing teams, who can suck the energy out of introverts without even noticing.
The key is to understand your introversion and balance your schedule to provide alone/quiet times between the meetings. If you are having a long series of interactions (such as when you are usability testing), clear your evenings and give yourself a quiet weekend at home. Schedule breaks or take lunch alone in a quiet place in order to grab a recharge during the day. If you’re at a conference, don’t allow people to fill your evenings with group activities unless it is critically necessary, or unless you can trade it off for alone time during the day.
I found that I’ve developed an outgoing secondary personality that I can haul out and use for situations where I need to interact with a group or do a presentation. I treat it as almost an athletic activity; I make sure my batteries are topped up and I’m prepared in advance.
