Adva Levin Personality technique
“When I design, I work very hard to make
the interface experience feel like there’s a
human on the other end, not a computer.”
- Aarron Walter
“Let’s think of our designs not as a facade
for interaction, but as people with whom
our audience can have an inspired
conversation. Products are people, too.”
- Aarron Walter
If we were a person out there in the world serving our
customer, our job would be Movies librarian. And
customer would describe us as the most savvy of any
in that profession. We never want to come off as
narrow.
