Design philosophy

Good design is not decoration.

I don't start with what the screen should look like. I start with six questions, and I keep asking them until the answers stop changing.

  1. What problem are we actually solving?
  2. Who are we solving it for?
  3. What makes the experience difficult?
  4. What can we simplify?
  5. What decision will make the biggest difference?
  6. How do we know it works?

How I think

Not a process diagram. The order in which I reduce uncertainty.

  1. 01UnderstandWhat is actually happening?Users, business goals, workflows and constraints — before any solution language enters the room.Complexity
  2. 02DefineWhat is the real problem?Separate symptoms from the underlying problem. Most briefs describe a symptom.Understanding
  3. 03ExploreWhat could work better?Hold several possibilities open instead of committing to the first idea that looks finished.Problem
  4. 04SimplifyWhat can we remove, clarify or improve?Reduce unnecessary complexity — in the flow, the information and the decisions asked of people.Ideas
  5. 05DesignHow should the experience work?Flows, information, interactions, states, edge cases and interface.Simplification
  6. 06ValidateDoes it actually work?Research, feedback, testing or whatever evidence is genuinely available.Validation
  7. 07ScaleCan this solution grow?Consistency, accessibility, reuse and the version of the product nobody has asked for yet.Scalable product
