Bridging the Gulf of Evaluation – Show Me What Just Happened
The best apps feel like they’re thinking with you. Click a button. Boom — something happens. Not just behind the scenes, but right in front of you: a spinner, a sound, a “Got it!” message.
Discoverability — The Power of Helping People Find What’s Possible
The best features don’t just work—they get noticed.
You know you’ve nailed #discoverability when people easily find new capabilities based on #precedent and #intuition.
Design Debt — The Hidden Cost of Not Fixing It
You know your solution design truly rocks when it’s whisper quiet in your hallways -- no one is asking for #documentation, no #trainingvideos needed, no group walkthroughs. It just works, and people use it. That's #IntentionalDesign.
Prototyping Isn’t Time-Wasting—Not Prototyping Is.
Why do we do a rehearsal before a wedding? Doesn’t it take time and cost money? We do it because we want the big day to go really, really well! We want it to be truly excellent.
Error Recovery—People Will Make Mistakes
When it comes to digital systems, I’d like mine in bubble wrap.
Just a crash pad for when things go sideways.
A soft landing when the app doesn’t understand my intention.
Is that too much to ask? 🤕
Mapping—Why People Click the Wrong Thing
Ever try to save your work and accidentally delete it instead? That’s not a “you” problem. That’s a mapping problem. 🧭
Visibility and Feedback — Why Users Get Stuck
If your software sometimes has your teammates wondering “Did that go through?” — you may have a great opportunity to bring clarity, confidence, and efficiency through solid design.
