UX statement

UX experience is more than having empathy with the user, is being able to see thing through his eyes and understanding his priorities, even if he doesn't know them yet. Requires vision to see beyond today and into tomorrow needs, wants an desires. Requires prospective to squeeze all the data we get in our information center lifes. And requires humbleness to know that even above all of this, the most important thing is the user experience.
