Quote Hillman Curtis
The goal of a designer is to listen,Ā observe, understand, sympathize, empathize, synthesize, and glean insights that enable him or her to āmake the invisible visible.ā
Reach your audience through your design.

In order to betterĀ understandĀ your audience, and to they understand you, you need to develop some skills that are not all connected to design.
_
Learn toĀ identifyĀ needs. It is very important for you to know what is necessary and unnecessary for someone, so that you can meet those needs. š¤

Develop empathy. If you are able to recognize the situation and feelings of others, you will be able to put those emotions into action and in your business. ā¤ļø
_
Connect others and your experiences and create something new. Innovation comes from previous experience and knowledge. We just need to spice it up a little and come up with a new solution. š”
_
Devote some of your time to observing. Be it someone else's projects, works of art, the space around you, shapes, colors... Anything that will inspire you. After a while you will find design in everything that surrounds you. š

AndĀ last but not leastĀ - learn to listen, to others and yourself. š
