Phone calls foster deeper connections than text messages, capturing nuances of emotion that typed words cannot convey.

You just finished a design project. And it was a mess. Timelines constantly shifted. Stakeholders disagreed, going back and forth. You made calls without enough data to support them. Maybe the final design wasn't what you wanted. Now comes the hard part: thinking about how you're going to talk about it in your portfolio or case study.
