Portfolio & Design Critique — September 2026

2 Upvotes

Post your portfolio or something else you've designed to receive a critique. Generally, users who include additional context and explanations receive more (and better) feedback.

Critiquers: Feedback should be supported with best practices, personal experience, or research! Try to provide reasoning behind your critiques. Those who post don't only your opinion, but guidance on how to improve their portfolios based on best practices, experience in the industry, and research. Just like in your day-to-day jobs, back up your assertions with reasoning.

As an UXR, how do you manage being splained by a designer ?

0 Upvotes

As we all now it's common for a UX designer (or Product designer or UX/UI or whatever the trend is in your area) to be 'splained user needs, discovery, design by their product team. Or ignored. Or having their deadlines dismissed.

What I see too often (but maybe it's because I'm a woman ?) is designers doing this to researchers. Being explained heuristics, being handed over assignments last minute, dismissing our remarks because they, too, do research so they know.

How common is it and most importantly, how do you handle it ?

Designers : why ? Do you catch yourself doing this ? Where does it come from (because I'm sure there is a legit reason why some of you do this... maybe very similar to why PrD crowd do it to you...) ?
