“Human-Focused Design
optimizes for human motivation
in a system as opposed to
optimizing for pure functional
efficiency within the system.”
-- Yu-kai Chou (2015) Actionable Gamification: Beyond
Points, Badges, and Leaderboards (p. 8)
“It’s all about humans”

rewards should support
your goals rather than
undermining them
