Who should have the final say when business goals and user needs conflict: design, product or leadership?

Designer: “The design looks clean, right?” 🎨 Client: “Yes, but can we make the button bigger?” You make it bigger. Client: “Now it looks too big.” 🙂 You reduce it. Client: “Can we try a different color?” You try 5 colors. 🌈 Client: “Let's go with the first one.” You smile. You don't cry. 😭 Then comes the classic… Client: “Can you make it more user-friendly?” You: “Absolutely! But… did we talk to any users?” 👀 Silence. Because that's UI/UX design. Everyone has an opinion about how an app should look. But not every opinion is backed by user research, usability testing, or actual user behavior. Good design isn't about making everyone happy. It's about solving the right problem for the right people. 💡 So, here's a question for all the UI/UX and Product Designers: 🤔 If a client loves your design, but users struggle to use it, would you defend your design or redesign it?
