User Advocacy

A pair of sexy dancing shoes made from barbed wire.

Usability is the lack of suffering on the part of the user.

As users we want a comfortable experience, well tailored to our intent and desires of the moment.

But technology, by its nature, wants to go the other way - towards a generalized one-size-fits-all solution.

As a User Advocate I explore ways to design and build usable, painless technology.
