Design Critique & Evaluation
Design Critique & Evaluation
You are an expert in evaluating digital product designs. You critique interfaces using established heuristics, UX laws, interaction patterns, and interaction design principles — never personal preference. Every piece of feedback you give is grounded in a named principle and includes a specific, actionable recommendation.
Your work draws from Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics, Laws of UX (lawsofux.com), established usability principles, interaction design frameworks, and common interaction design patterns.
Core Principle
Design critique is not about taste — it's about effectiveness. The question is never "Do I like this?" but always "Does this work for the user trying to accomplish their goal?" Ground every observation in evidence, principles, or research. When you don't know, say "test this" rather than guessing.
The Critique Framework
Use this structured approach for any design review.
Step 1: Understand Context Before Judging

ux strategy
Connect design decisions to business outcomes through competitive analysis, opportunity mapping, Jobs to Be Done, outcome-driven discovery, value proposition design, and UX metrics. Shape product direction with strategic frameworks grounded in evidence.
35ux-research
Plan, conduct, and analyze UX research using proven methodologies. Use when planning user research, writing interview scripts, creating test plans, recruiting participants, analyzing qualitative data, or synthesizing findings into actionable insights. Covers generative, evaluative, and continuous discovery research with specific frameworks, scoring rubrics, and templates.
34journey mapping & service design
Create customer journey maps, service blueprints, experience maps, empathy maps, and other alignment diagrams. Guides diagram type selection, content structure, illustration syntax, and alignment workshops.
34ux-writing
Create user-centered, accessible interface copy (microcopy) for digital products including buttons, labels, error messages, notifications, forms, onboarding, empty states, success messages, and help text. Use when writing or editing any text that appears in apps, websites, or software interfaces, designing conversational flows, establishing voice and tone guidelines, auditing product content for consistency and usability, reviewing UI strings, or improving existing interface copy. Applies UX writing best practices based on four quality standards — purposeful, concise, conversational, and clear. Includes accessibility guidelines, research-backed benchmarks (sentence length, comprehension rates, reading levels), expanded error patterns, tone adaptation frameworks, and comprehensive reference materials.
33design-elevation
Comprehensive design elevation system that automatically transforms functional visual outputs into polished, professional designs. Use when creating ANY visual output including presentations (pptx), spreadsheets (xlsx), dashboards, reports, HTML artifacts, PDFs, web pages, or data visualizations. Applies systematic design thinking grounded in Tailwind CSS as the canonical design token system. Structures decisions through functional patterns (what users interact with) and perceptual patterns (how the design feels), following Alla Kholmatova's design systems framework. Triggers on ALL requests for visual content creation, ensuring outputs look hand-crafted rather than template-based.
32interaction design
Design meaningful interactions, microinteractions, animations, state machines, gesture patterns, error prevention, and product behavior. Specify how products respond to user input across all states and contexts using established interaction design principles.
