I advocate for good design, which is:
- Inclusive: everyone benefits from the design and its outcomes.
-
Technically performant: an experience is as fast as it can possibly be.

Measurable: the value of the design can be articulated.
-
Contextual: the design reflects the state in which a person invokes it and adapts to it.
- Lightweight: attaining a goal or outcome requires as little investment as possible from a user.
