The relationship with the client was challenging at the beginning of the internship due to our long-term friendship. She seemed hesitant to provide critical feedback and unsure of her goals. I learned that part of her hesitancy was due to lack of knowledge of what might be possible. Although I had a vision of possibilities, she was nervous about maintaining and updating the website after it was created. In working with clients, I learned that my flexibility is essential to maintaining a positive relationship and ensuring the project meets the client’s needs. Also, in communicating with the client, I learned that intentionality is important, especially with questions that are asked. Intentional questions result in clear and specific feedback to guide the work.
