Building delight starts with clarity. Before adding flair, I define the smallest, clearest version of the interaction—what users must see, know, and do at each step.

Once the essential path feels effortless, I layer tiny rewards: gentle motion, microcopy that anticipates doubt, and responsive states that reassure rather than distract. Joy shows up as confidence, not noise.

The final pass trims anything that steals focus. If a detail does not increase understanding or momentum, it comes out. The result is calm, expressive, and fast to scan.
