"Why is my designer so slow?" 🐌  Contrary to popular belief, your designer isn't deliberately taking their time to create your creative masterpiece.  Often there are other factors at play within your design brief and designers day that could be contributing to your perceived perception of design speed.  It's a FAQ we get asked here at 55 KNOTS, "how long will [project] take", and it's often 'how long is a piece of string'.  Design is an art form and everyone's tastes of what they consider good design are different. (It's why everyone has their own choice of art hanging in their homes).  This means some projects have no revisions and others have more, which can add time to your design delivery.  But, there are some reasons the design process might feel slow, but there are ways you can speed it up.
