Multiple design options

“Can you tell me typically how many ideas / designs concepts I can expect to see?”
I never commit to a set number of concepts as I do not know what the initial feedback will be. I identify a certain avenue, explore a single idea, submit it to you for feedback, and either make necessary changes or derive additional concepts from there.
This ensures that you are not limited in any way to a set number of concepts.
A sample design or mockup actually takes a lot of conceptualisation, trial and error.
Exploring options happens naturally when designing. One day I am happy with my approach and the next I toss it in the bin. Fluctuation is natural and expected.
On average, a designer will produce a dozen iterations of a design. This approach allows me to internally work through various potential solutions and present what I feel is the best option alongside considerations that influenced my decisions. From there I can iterate until everyone is happy.
The creative process is a bit like giving birth. You wouldn’t want to go through it twice just to see which child you want to keep.
