Key pull quotes:
- User experience is the net sum of every interaction a person has with a company
- It requires flexibility, and a willingness to be wrong until you are right.
- Designers act not on opinion, but on insight. They do not mandate, but educate.
- A user’s experience belongs to the user. An experience cannot be designed. It can, however, be influenced. A designer’s job is to be the influencer.
