    This is an Ask Kris & Donna episode where we answer a question from a lovely designer, Sarah Kelly, who has asked the following question:

    Do clients really want to see my process work? I was taught at university to share it all, as time goes on I have been less inclined to do so. Sharing my ideation process in my client branding presentation can feel like it is too much information for the client...mind maps, brainstorming, sketches...it's a lot! Would it not be better to keep them focused on the one design concept/solution being provided? Thank you, Sarah
