“We must be more than user-centered, we must be human-centered—to know people first as people, not as users or customers or clients. Our designs are conceived from a deep understanding of humanity and with the desire to help individuals accomplish their goals.”

“Everything has a personality: everything sends an emotional signal… Even where this was not the intention of the designer, the people who view the website infer personalities and experience emotions… Horrible personalities instill horrid emotional states in their users, usually unwittingly.”

“The design is for the ideal user, the happy, upbeat, good-life user. It doesn’t take other use cases into account. It may not be possible to reliably pre-detect whether a person wants to see their year in review, but it’s not at all hard to ask politely—empathetically—if it’s something they want.”

“There’s really only a question. And the question is, do you want your work to re-inscribe sexism, or racism, or homophobia? Do you want your work to cause anxiety, or to trigger trauma, or to alienate people?
