“Good design speaks to the conscious mind, but great design taps into the subconscious, guiding behavior without the user even realizing it.”
Darshana Bamania

Louis Yako
“Neoliberalism has, to a great extent, succeeded in replacing in-depth, critical, and independent social science with research funded by corporations to serve corporate interests. We are seeing a sharp decline of independent writers and researchers and a sharp rise of UX (user experience) jobs that are often narrow in scope, and solely focused on understanding users not to create a more informed and critical society, but simply to increase numbers, get users to consume more, and to increase profits for the few at the top.”
Louis Yako
