I'm honest about expressing my opinions. At the same time, I'm diplomatic in how I do critique things if I have a negative response.

I'm one of the biggest introverts you could ever meet.

I do things like hem a pair of pants, I do my own tailoring but I wouldn't attempt a jacket.

I've worn a suit and tie for most of my life. And I believe (for me), it makes me more confident navigating the world.

Take the high road. No matter how much strife, and consternation, frustration and anger you might be confronted with - don't go to that level.

I pretty much stay true to myself and try to find the good in people and not be snarky.

I have a very Socratic approach - I pummel the designers with questions, so when I get them to step back from the work and look at it with me, they'll eventually see what I see, coming to it fresh and unencumbered. That's always very gratifying because they feel a responsibility and an ownership of a solution.
