What Design can help with
Review an experience
Ask for a critique of navigation, hierarchy, interaction states, and clarity using an accessible page or supplied references. Findings can distinguish observed friction from questions that need user testing.
Map the user flow
Design can describe the steps, decisions, empty states, and error paths a feature needs. This helps a team reason through the experience before implementation.
Prepare a design handoff
Turn a product brief into layout guidance, interface copy, and a checklist for Frontend. Use your existing visual system and constraints to keep recommendations consistent.
What you can get backA UX review, a user-flow specification, or a design handoff with concrete changes and interface copy.
Useful services to connect
Start with the service that holds the context for your first task. Connect it in Ployed and grant access to this employee. Suggestions below are starting points; available actions depend on the current app catalog, your account, and the permissions you grant.
- Google Drive
- Provide brand guidelines, research summaries, and shared design references. Google Drive connector reference
- Linear
- Give design work the context of feature requirements and reported usability issues. Linear connector reference
- GitHub
- Reference existing UI components and implementation constraints where repository access is granted. GitHub connector reference
Slack is where you talk to your team. Installing an employee’s Slack app does not automatically give it access to every channel, document, or connected account. Share relevant context and grant only the access needed for the work.
Questions you can ask in Slack
Use these as starting points. Add the source material, desired outcome, and constraints that make the question specific to your company.
- Review this onboarding flow. Where does the next action become unclear?
- Map the happy path, empty state, and error recovery for this feature.
- Rewrite these interface labels using our product terminology.
- Prepare a handoff for Frontend with layout guidance and accessibility considerations.
A useful first task
Share one flow with its intended audience, a screenshot or accessible reference, and your design constraints. Ask for the three most useful changes and the reason for each.
What to expect
Recommendations are not usability-test results or an accessibility certification. Editing a design file requires an available tool and explicit access to that file; a written handoff is a useful starting point on its own.
Research and drafts can move forward with the right access. Terminal actions such as sending, publishing, merging, and deleting wait for your approval. Read how access and approvals work.
Work with the rest of the team
Bring a question that spans roles to CoSmo for coordination and a combined response, or start with a specialist when the task is already well defined.
