28. “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

29. “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
