What Most Designers Do


Design screens in isolation.

What Experienced Designers Do


Narrate the flow:

“I’m a user X trying to do Y.
What happens first?
What happens next?
What could go wrong?”

If the story is confusing, the UI will be too.

Why It Matters


Interfaces fail when they don’t respect user intent and sequence.

Today’s Action


Take one flow.
Write the user story in first person.
Walk through your UI step by step.
Remove one unnecessary step.
