Can you imagine not being able to visualize your dream home, even when described in vivid detail? Join us as Maria uncovers the intriguing world of aphantasia, a condition that makes it challenging for some clients to picture design concepts. Discover how this "mind blindness" influences their decision-making and learn creative strategies to bridge the gap between a designer's vision and a client's visualization abilities. Using insights from Scientific American and compelling real-life scenarios, Maria emphasizes the critical role of repeated visual affirmations and contextual support in guiding clients through the design process.
