Strive for Simplicity
A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.
– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Strive for simplicity and clarity in every aspect of your work. Not just in the interfaces, copy, and experiences you design, but in the words you say in meetings and in the emails and chat messages you write. Avoid jargon, put people at ease, and try to improve the UX of everyone you interact with—users and colleagues.
Your mock-ups and designs should be clear and usable, but so should all other aspects of “you, the product”. Make yourself a delight for others to interact with, and be kind—the reward for this is a successful career in UX!
