Being able to break your emotional ties with the things you create is the sign of a mature designer. It is essential in any collaborative design process and can open the door to discover answers you wouldn’t or couldn’t have seen otherwise.

Being able to kill your darlings (and not take it personally) is the most difficult step in the maturation process for many product designers. 

Truly crossing that bridge means not seeing it as a compromise but rather as a positive, forward-moving, step in the creative process. Trust that your team (and you) will be better for it.
