Design is underrated. The work of trained designers, which carries both creative and intellectual value, often gets overshadowed by marketing priorities. Not to mention the unrealistic timelines planned with a lack of awareness of design processes. This is why non-designers use Canva for branding or marketing graphics. As a designer, I wish our value receives more recognition and respect.

A big clap to everything you said. Too often we are seen as not important and/or disposable aspects of a company.
