There’s no such thing as an edge case. Only inflexibility in how a system is designed.

Instead of using “edge case” designation to dismiss user needs, think about what you still need to learn about them. Just bc their needs are currently not met doesn’t mean they’re “edge”.

I'm Sebastian, Sociologist and Interaction Designer. This journal is mostly about bringing together social science and design for inclusive, privacy-focused, and sustainable "human-first" digital strategies. I also tend to a "digital garden" with carefully curated resources.

My monthly email newsletter has all of the above, and there are of course also an RSS feed and Twitter.
