Reminder: Humans have existed for like 200,000 years, and there are around 9 billion humans alive right now. Whatever you’re struggling with, someone else is struggling with it too, and we’ve been struggling with it for millennia.

The point: you are not alone. ❤️

When life sends us what we need, it helps to be prepared ☺️💦

To create things that empower people in meaningful ways, we need to understand those deep needs and desires. #Empathy gives us a bridge between other people’s deepest feelings and our own.

Too many designers & developers see #accessibility as a burden or think it’s too hard to make accessible websites/apps beautiful. But the standards are nuanced & allow plenty of room for creativity!

The true value a #UX professional brings to the #design process doesn’t come from tech knowledge, but from humanity-centered skills.

In order for UX to keep evolving, we need to develop our fluency in empathy, storytelling, and ethics. #designhumanism
