No pressure, right? Diving into this project, I ran headfirst into the usual design drama—challenges popping

Knowing when to ask for help can mean the difference between a successful project and an unsuccessful one. It can be the difference between managers wanting you on their projects, and teams actively blocking you from participation. So how do we know when it’s time to ask for help?
