When asking for feedback:• State clearly:
Where you are at What you expect feedback on
• Ask clear questions
• Explain the rationale for your decisions
@MARIANAMOTA
Page 42
When giving feedback:
• Ask the current status of the design
• Question first. Comment last.
• Explain technical challenges
• Don’t refer to your personal taste. Refer to the briefing and user research.

Avoid:
“I don’t like it.”
“Can’t do it” (without explaining why)
