“I have a question”
That’s something I find myself saying a lot - whether in conversations with friends or at work. It’s usually not limited to a single question though… People often joke that casual conversations with me can feel like the spanish inquisition. Asking a barrage of questions is my way to learn about, and from, others. (So it’s no surprise that user interviews are one of my favourite parts of the design process.)
My natural curiosity comes out in other ways in the digital world. Once in a while, I will stumble upon an experience that feels extraordinarily seamless or delightful, one that I will become instantly obsessed with. I will likely spend hours in an internet hole exploring the product, reading about it, writing about it, and might even cold email the CEO… All that to say that good design really excites me and reminds me of why I chose to pursue a career in this field.
