Thoughts from Ashley:

• We automatically assume that everyone thinks about the client experience. 
• I help designers see not just what works for the clients, but also what works for them as well. 
• When you see things from your client’s perspective, it is so much easier to deal with them. 
• You want to take it step by step with clients.  
• You are to prepare your clients for what may come up, but you do not want to freak them out. 
• Try to find ways to prevent stress on behalf of your client.  
• The more you can remember about your client the more you will provide a luxurious experience for them. 
• Everything you do, you want to have a reason for it. 
• Clients want to know that you care about them and not just their money.
