Episode notes
Embodied Thinking
- May-Li Khoe uses physical movements to explain interface design concepts.
- She "dances out" interactions, finding this more effective than static mockups.
Digital Stagecraft
- Designing transitions and element appearances should consider how humans interact with physical spaces.
- May-Li Khoe uses her experience with dance to think about how these elements flow together.
Weighted Interactions

- Deleting something important should feel "heavy," while minor rearrangements should feel light.
