interface design is pattern recognition: discernment of which form to apply and when, and sometimes (rarely) pattern creation most interface problems have already been solved. there’s no need to reinvent the wheel each time. a good designer knows when to rely on a rich corpus of existing work, and when to push the envelope with something new or unexpected systems cohesion and elegance: so-called “canonical interfaces” are much harder to cultivate and steward

"What in the world are we looking for in our screens, what do we hope will be there if we just keep scrolling?" I just posted a new Substack: open.substack.com/pub/dispen…

I just published: Gratitude for the Gift of Product Designing It's a wrap-up of my eleven months of under-employment. (And because I'm a product designer, I'm not going to make you open the thread to click the link. Algo be damned.) open.substack.com/pub/dispen…

Hey friends! I am hosting a TLC/TLC-adjacent open mic on my channel on June 20th at 8 pm Central Time. I would LOVE for y'all to participate. What to Share: A story, a song, a comedy routine...interpretive scarf dancing. If it stirs the spirit, we want to witness the glory, however rough and ragged it may be. This is a safe space. You can find all the details and sign-up form here: rigelthurston.com/p/summer-s… @chrbaxter_yt @EthanCaughey @sam_dispencing @MCMoSav @GrimGriz @PaulVanderKlay @EmilyRajeh65064

I guess putting an extra c in "unnecessary" is unnecessary.

I’m looking for a remote product design job. I probably don’t know more about interface design than every designer in the world. But I probably know more than anyone who’s available right now.

You should hire Anthony. He’s not only a fantastic designer with an attention to detail like no other, he’s also just a really good person.
I have been made redundant. You can pay me ÂŁ300 for a month of unlimited design advice by email, or ÂŁ100 for a one-off recorded video review of anything you send me. I give practical feedback and advice. Details and testimonials can be found on my website, in my bio.
