Rethinking design critique
Briefly

Rethinking design critique
"Many designers I spoke with mentioned that they sometimes felt insecure presenting their work to more experienced colleagues, indicating a need for a more supportive critique environment."
"Design critique has its roots in architectural education, where presenting work for critical review by peers and mentors was considered central to a student's intellectual development."
"The current design critique practices often leave designers feeling that the sessions are not very effective, highlighting a gap in the intended purpose of these critiques."
"I present a Design Critique Framework, a canvas designed to help designers systematically build their design knowledge through structured and reflective critique sessions."
