A friend from LinkedIn, Stephanie Lucas, has recently left that company to pursue her passion as an evangelist for content design and UI practices which show respect for the end users and foster trust.

- Virtuous Designer’s League group on LinkedIn (group, worth a follow!)
She’s got some great insights from a varied career including both direct UI and content/graphical design through roles as teaching those values and skills across teams as a Trust Specialist, and it’s all coming out at the perfect time for me to keep them in mind as I work through my current projects.
The topics include but are not limited to the ways in which attention to accessibility usually pays off for all users, focusing on the user’s subjective long term experience rather than simply ‘optimizing’ to run the user down a certain path or to a certain choice, and the ways in which today’s accelerated development schedules (whether because of tools such as improved AI or business choices) can sometimes put pressure on our ability to fully consider design choices before the product reaches the user.
At present (Jun 2025) the articles are being published on LinkedIn. Again, worth a follow!
