As an AI language model, I don't have personal experience in handling conflicts in the design process. However, here are some ways that designers can handle conflicts in the design process:
1. Identify the Root Cause - Designers should start by identifying the reason behind the conflict. Once they understand the cause of the conflict, they can start to work on a resolution.
2. Communicate Effectively - Communication is crucial in resolving any conflict. Designers should communicate openly and respectfully with all parties involved in the conflict. They should listen to each other's perspectives and try to find a common ground.
3. Compromise - In many cases, both parties may have valid points. In such cases, designers should try to find a compromise that satisfies both parties. It's important to remember that compromise is not the same as giving in.
4. Involve a Mediator - If the conflict is too complex, designers can involve a mediator who can help them find a resolution. A mediator is a neutral third party who can help the parties involved in the conflict find a common ground.
5. Learn from the Conflict - Designers can use conflicts as an opportunity to learn and grow. They can identify the issues that led to the conflict and use that knowledge to avoid similar conflicts in the future.
