Femke.design: Why Your Design Ideas Get REJECTED (6-Step Fix)

Why do design ideas get rejected? In this video, Femke reveals the 6-step IMPACT framework—a playbook to pitch your work as a business investment instead of a creative “ask.” You’ll learn to map your solution to company goals, back it up with data and user insights, anticipate objections, craft a clear implementation plan, and time your pitch to align with stakeholder priorities. She also shares why outcomes trump process and how to shift from order-taker to strategic partner.

Perfect for designers with 3–5 years of experience who are frustrated by constant pushback, the guide includes tips on speaking stakeholder language, strategic timing secrets, and a step-by-step action plan. Plus, it’s sponsored by Lovable (use code FEMKEYT20 for 20% off) and ties into Femke’s Product Strategy for Designers course and community resources if you want to dive deeper.
