// Interaction Design

How something works matters to me as much as how it looks. I started as a front-end developer and accessibility specialist, back when interaction design wasn’t yet a job title anyone recognised.

I design for the point where a person meets new technology and has to make sense of it fast. Connected products. AI interfaces. Financial dashboards people check five times a day out of anxiety. The interesting problems are usually about trust and clarity. Decoration is easy by comparison.

I was technical reviewer for O’Reilly’s Designing Connected Products, on the strength of having actually built the things it described.

// Awesome Accessibility

The best accessibility features don’t look like accessibility features. They just look like good design.

A short one, brought in from Medium. About a Nike shoe with a collapsible heel, and the case for building access in from the start instead of bolting it on at the end.

Also: the curb-cut effect, and why “well done, more of this” is basically the whole argument.

I'd love to tell you more.
