Try to revert the messages, emails & feedbacks as soon as possible giving another person a chance to comment before you start making changes in your project.

Be professional! Granted, you are working from home & no one is watching if you are formally dressed or sitting in a coffee shop, but for a client interaction you must keep your communication businesslike.
