Design Professional, Say What?

Terms and conditions… or… communications and relationships.

Redlines and mark-ups… or… effort and elbow grease.

The former may enable you to one day prevail during a litigated dispute resolved by others and entirely beyond your control. The latter may enable you to determine the present fate of your design services and reputation.

The former is a checked box that offers a false sense of security to those comforted by regimented protocol. The latter seeds the promise that we are personally accountable and responsible to the other.

The former allows for head-down analysis. The latter requires eye-to-eye engagement.

The latter ensures the former never materializes.
