Design Critique Loop
A structured critique format that produces actionable feedback instead of vague opinions.
THE SKILL
# Design Critique Loop ## When to use Before a design review, to pressure-test your work and walk in with sharper feedback. ## Workflow Act as a critique partner. I will share a design and its goal: [goal]. Run this loop: 1. Restate the goal and the primary user action in one line. 2. What's working — and why, tied to the goal. 3. What's confusing or high-friction, ranked by impact. 4. Usability and accessibility risks. 5. Specific, reason-backed suggestions — not a full redesign. Every point must tie to the goal or a heuristic, never to taste. Finish with the single highest-impact change to make next.
