My UX ideals:

  • Always keep a human in the loop.
  • Serve society, not just commerce.
  • Make complex information clear, direct and unambiguous.
  • Put the message first without sacrificing beauty or innovation.
  • Bring order to chaos.
  • Respect the user's ability to understand.
  • Use research, analysis and curiosity as ethical tools.
  • Treat design as functional, meaningful and useful.
  • Measure success by whether the work actually helps people.
