As UX designers, we're always looking for the good in the world. We're constant observers of people and observers of the world so we can make it better! In this talk I will give you my tools that I use to find elegance in user experiences that others have built. And I'll share my techniques for desiging elegance into your sites, apps, and products. I promise that the discussion won't get stuck in the world of platonic theory — I'll help you find better customer problems, solve them with more elegant structres and, in your way, to create a world that's just a little bit better too! Presented at #amUX (a local ATL UX community) on 5/4/2016
