One of the most frequent scenarios I encounter with my clients is this: Partner A calls me to ask about my services. We agree to meet, see the space, talk about goals and objectives and so forth. After being assured that the Partner B doesn’t have any interest in the outcome of the space, I begin to design. I return to present the design – generally to Partner A and B – and Partner B is none too pleased with what s/he sees. An argument ensues. I have to scrap my design and at the client’s expense, go back to the drawing board.
