And that sucks when you kind of feel like you already deserve it.
Early on in my career, I really thought that if I just did good work, people would see it.
They'd respect it.
They'd trust it.
I was dead wrong about that.
All right, good work does matter, but only if people can see it, understand it, and connect it to the goals that they already care about in the first place.
If they don't understand your intent or your process or your outcomes, they're not going to trust your recommendations, even if they're brilliant.
Which is why for designers, how you deliver your work is just as important as what you deliver.
So how do you build trust?
Well, here's what I've seen work.
Start small, deliver consistently, and do not try to redesign an entire system on day one.
Okay, find something small, fixable, impactful.
Do it really well.
And then do it again.
And then repeat that until it's noticed.
The next thing is you have to speak the language of the people you are talking to in any given situation.
So if you're in a room full of product and engineering folks, you don't come in with abstract design theory or UX best practices.
You talk outcomes, you talk risk, you talk efficiency.
You talk reducing rework.
Right, you translate your value into their terms, in other words.
