In "Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine," the protagonist observes that her interactions with clients were limited, a situation that suited her well. She notes the challenges faced by designers who struggled to understand clients' needs due to vague and unclear feedback. The disconnect often led to frustration and wasted effort, as the teams would produce extensive artwork only to be rejected by the clients for not meeting their expectations.

This cyclical process of miscommunication highlights the demanding nature of creative work and the difficulty in capturing clients' visions. Eleanor’s reflections reveal not only the challenges designers face but also an underlying commentary on the complexities of interpersonal communication in professional settings. This relationship between client and designer encapsulates a broader theme of misunderstanding and the quest for clarity in artistic pursuits.
