I appreciate that being called on to educate clients can be time-consuming and frustrating, and I applaud your efforts to do so. My hope would be that professional organizations like the AIGA and business schools in this era of "design innovation" continue and expand their efforts to educate the public and the business community so that the responsibility doesn't fall solely on the shoulders of the design practitioner.

The only way one can feel better is the hope that this is an investment in our professional future. “striving to educate them when they don’t “get it” ” has always been my approach, but this takes almost twice as much time.
