AS A DESIGNER

WHAT IS YOUR IS YOUR FAVORITE UX IN AN APP OR PRODUCT AND WHY?

Currently my favorite user experience in a product can be seen in Uber. Uber is direct, simple and elegant.

One of the things I love is just tapping where I want to go first. In the early days of rideshare options, I remember so many design had too many steps from location to destination ect.

WHAT IS YOUR IF YOUR FAVORITE GUI DESIGN SYSTEM?

I can go into a long story on GUI's below but currently Android is my favorite GUI but I am really fascinated with Google's Fuchsia. Android has more learnible functionality than Apple. I think of Apple being very simple and easy to use. My grandfather was able to use an iPad with no problems. Android really serviced the power user.

simplicity
built in learning curve to power user without instructions
easy to understand the language from exposure
really elegant and powerful.

Fuchsia show the promise of intuitive card nesting using finger gestures. This was a test of Fuschsia on the Pixel book.

material design
multi-windows
seemless switching

GUI EXPERIENCE

I have been studying the GUI operating system since Apple bought the idea from XEROX Parc and it seem to me a that though the graphics has evolved for 40 years, the actual experience has not. This is my attempt to find a new OS paradigm. It was revolutionary for its time, but I believe we are at a point where people will want to navigate between their applications in a different way. This will an on going explorations on how I can break this model and find a new experience for the workstation.

Macintosh 1985

Mac X Lion 2011

Mac OS Sierra 2016

Ubuntu

The legacy of Xerox Parc Star to Macintosh to Sierra's gui has been the standard for all GUI. Even Android, iOS, Windows and Ubuntu borrowed from this visual.
