Design reviews

The trade-off discussion,
findable months later.

Record the walkthrough. Talk through why you landed on this layout, what you rejected, and what the constraints were. That reasoning stays in your org's library, searchable forever, so you're not explaining it again next quarter.

The problem

Design decisions get made.
The reasoning disappears.

"Why did we do it this way?"
Six months after the design decision, nobody remembers the rationale. The designer who made the call moved to a different project. The trade-offs that seemed obvious are invisible now.
New designers inherit decisions they don't understand.
They work around constraints without knowing what the constraints are for. They propose changes that relitigate settled discussions. Not because they're not good, but because there's no artifact.
Stakeholders push back and you have nothing to point to.
"We considered that option and ruled it out for [reason]" is a strong response. "We considered that option" is weak. The reasoning that wasn't documented doesn't exist.
The design review happens in Zoom. The thinking evaporates.
The best discussions happen in the walkthrough: the real trade-offs, the context, the half-finished thinking. Then the recording sits in someone's Zoom history for 90 days and disappears.

How Pixelmatic helps

The rationale stays in the library.

Record where the design lives
The recorder is browser-based, so it works wherever you're showing the work. Recording a Figma prototype in the browser? Tab-share it. Showing a staging environment? Same thing.
The reasoning is now searchable text
Every recording is automatically transcribed, published or not. "We ruled out the tab-based nav because of the mobile constraints" becomes a searchable phrase in your org's library.
Find past decision recordings by what was said
Search across your whole team's recordings by phrase, tag, creator, or title. "What were the constraints on the checkout flow redesign?" Search it, find the recording, jump to the moment.
Share with stakeholders without a login
Published recordings get a public link. Share it in a Notion doc, in a Slack thread, in a PR comment. Stakeholders open it in their browser, no account required.

Where this pays off

Design work worth preserving.

  • Design decision walkthroughs with rationale for the library
  • Async design reviews without scheduling a review call
  • Sharing a prototype walkthrough with stakeholders for feedback
  • Onboarding new designers to existing design decisions
  • Documenting what was considered and rejected during a redesign
