OBS.021
Spent forty minutes adjusting
a single spacing value.
from the notebook
OBS · 001
I read the wiki page for every game I play. Not to find secrets. To understand how the system was designed.
OBS · 001
I don't draw often. But when I do, I remember why observation matters.
From the notebook
I learn things by trying to explain them.
My best ideas arrive when I stop designing.
Bad spacing bothers me before bad copy does.
The best interfaces feel like they were always there.
OBS.032
Studied a game menu for its
hover animation timing.

What comes out — products.

Honest admission
"Can spend an hour adjusting spacing by one pixel. Usually worth it. Sometimes not."

OBSERVATION
Small things
I never stop
noticing.
the fit · always intentional
How clothes fit on a person.
How animals react to things.
How songs transition.
How game menus feel.
How interfaces respond.
How outfits are put together.
How light changes a space.
OBS.041
Drew three versions before
opening Figma.
