Work and Money
Do repeated client revisions mean my design work is poor?

Not necessarily. Distinguish a work being unsuitable from rejection of you personally. Design has subjective preferences; clients and managers may not share your taste.
A designer practitioner described initially resenting repeated changes and a manager readily agreeing with clients, even questioning company fit. Another company brought similar issues. She later reconsidered: clients pay for designs meeting their expectations, not only the designer's preferences.
I agree with that shift. Offer professional advice while understanding genuine wishes. An unsuitable work does not necessarily mean dislike of you. Do not enlarge feedback into rejection of your whole person and continual hurt.
