Quote

"The purpose of user experience design is to create personal value. We’re not here to reduce risk. We’re not here to massage conversion rates. We’re here to make things that improve people’s lives. In doing so, our companies profit in both senses of the word. It’s insufficient to judge our industry by the ROI we generate, or our contribution toward GDP. We should judge our industry by the happiness we create."

PS. We are designers, not managers

Here’s how it works:

Double tap the screen, but hold your finger down on the second tap. Then slide your finger up and down to zoom.

Here is the demo
