Why I Am
You just bought a new smartphone. Since it's a phone, you figure making a call should be easy. Hmm...

Where's that button, icon, symbol, the word "Phone", whatever? You spend actual minutes trying, but can't find "it". You blame yourself. You get annoyed. Your intent to make a simple call - crushed. Your attention, time, energy and excitement - inexcusably stolen. How did that happen?

The user was forgotten during the time when the phone was designed. That resulted in bad design. Surprisingly, it happens a lot, especially in software.

I must fight for end users. My personality type* helps me do this. Reminding product makers of the value happy users through great designs makes me happy.

My Personality Type *
INTP (introversion, intuition, thinking, perception):
INTPs live in the world of theoretical possibilities. We see everything in terms of how it could be improved, or what it could be turned into. We're gifted with the ability to analyze difficult problems, identify patterns, and come up with logical explanations and coherent designs. We seek clarity in everything, and are therefore driven to build knowledge.
