Trends Will Come and Go, but Good Design Is Forever
Apps age. Trends change. New tech changes the game. How do you stay consistent without going stale? It takes more than a good idea and skills. It takes character. Restraint. Nerves.

A good product is:
- Innovative; it must have creativity
- Useful
- Beautiful
- Easy to use
- Unobtrusive, modest
- Honest
- Timeless ; it won’t become outdated
- Doesn’t skip over any small details
- Environmentally friendly and doesn’t waste resources
- Not overly designed, “less is more”
