Designing for complex UIs
Not much can surprise us when it comes to interface challenges. We can design a decent card, a well-rounded accordion and an exquisite hamburger navigation. But what if there are slightly more complex UX challenges ahead of us?

My superpower is that I’m extremely average.
I can almost sense if something isn’t right. I might not be able to point out what exactly is wrong, but if I experience some issues, probably most people will, too.
