Geertjan Wielenga: You're a designer, but you interact a lot with developers and you promote your vision of user interface (UI) design. Do you see yourself as an advocate?

Regine Gilbert: I feel that, as a user experience (UX) designer, I advocate for the user, ultimately, but that means not making things hard for the developer either...
