Defending (or Rejecting) a Hamburger Menu in a Design Review
In a design review, a stakeholder pushes back on your proposed bottom tab bar (Home, Search, Saved, Profile) for a mobile app, suggesting instead: "let's just put everything behind a hamburger menu, it'll look cleaner and we won't have to decide what makes the cut for the tab bar."
- What is the stakeholder's proposal actually trading away, stated precisely?
- Under what circumstances would the hamburger menu actually be the right call here, if any?
- How would you respond in the review — what data or reasoning would you bring, rather than just asserting a preference?
