I come from a creative background (photography) so I always appreciate other people's advice, except telling me how to take my photos! Nobody tells me how to take my photos! ;-)
Whenever I get custom / bespoke things done, I don't see it as I am the customer and you do as you are told. I see it as a partnership and you know better than I do in whatever custom things you are making for me.
That's a solid approach. I like to think I'm the same.
Why go to a restaurant and tell the chef how to cook your dinner? Express a preference sure... but relinquish to their greater knowledge and experience. It's worth it. Maybe.
That is a lot of layers! Amazing!
