A curious consequence is that I have become a minor celebrity.

Good design is a lot like clear thinking made visual.

Design isn't crafting a beautiful, textured button with breathtaking animation. It's figuring out if there's a way to get rid of the button altogether.

I think it is important for software to avoiding imposing a cognitive style on workers and their work.

The commonality between science and art is in trying to see profoundly - to develop strategies of seeing and showing.

Confusion and clutter are failures of design, not attributes of information. And so the point is to find design strategies that reveal detail and complexity - rather than to fault the data for an excess of complication. Or, worse, to fault viewers for a lack of understanding.

The idea is that the content is the interface, the information is the interface, not computer-administrative debris.
