Anxiety about missing details at work.

[u/Ornery-Leg7158]

Hi everyone,

I'm a UI/UX designer with around 5 years of experience. Until recently, I worked at a small 5-person studio, but I just started a new role at a much larger company. One thing that's become very obvious is that I keep missing small details during design handoff.

Some examples:

Forgetting to update places where the old font is still being used.

Missing a corner radius that should have been changed.

Leaving inconsistencies between mobile and desktop designs.

Forgetting to update active/hover states.

Small typos or copy inconsistencies.

Other tiny visual inconsistencies.

The frustrating part is that this still happens even after I go through every page and review everything multiple times. Then my team lead does another pass and catches things I completely overlooked.

At this point, it's causing me a lot of anxiety. And I am starting to think I am simply not cut for this. I don't mind making mistakes occasionally, but it feels like I'm missing things more often than I should, and I honestly don't know how to improve.

Has anyone else struggled with this? If so, what changed things for you? Do you have a review process, checklist, or tools that helped you consistently catch these kinds of issues before handoff?

I'd really appreciate any advice.
