When a design solution is close to complete (> 80% draft), we can request a review by another design team member. This is intended to be an asynchronous activity to give the reviewer time to look closely at the details and review on their own schedule. However, there are times where synchronous meetings are more beneficial, so use discretion and be respectful of the team’s calendar.
To request a peer review:
Record a loom video walkthrough of your solution.
Share for asynchronous feedback in the Design Team channel
Tag the peer you wish to review your work. Include the following in your message:
Summary of the project and solution including:
The primary problem you’re aiming to solve
The core use cases you’re accounting for
The requirements of the project
Any specifics you particularly want feedback on
Link to Loom walkthrough (if you recorded one)
Link to Figma file
Link to prototype (if you have one)

They should block time in their calendar to complete the review. Reviews should ideally be completed within a 48hr window.
The reviewer will do a detailed review of their peer’s work to identify:
UI inconsistencies
Potential ideas for improvements
Unaccounted edge cases or unhappy paths
Correct component usage
Be as specific as possible. For example, saying "I don't like the colors" is different than saying "These two colors are vibrating against each other and it's causing a distraction."
Give suggestions, not directives. And leave it up to the design designer to take the suggestions or not.
