Good product design aims to speed up workflows, minimize distractions and interruptions to your process, and create an enjoyable, or even delightful experience. I also get some inspiration from Sci-Fi books and movies. Sure, it can be a bit tedious, as you start to appreciate good design and get frustrated with bad design more, but practicing these observations informs you when creating products of any kind. A poorly designed door handle stands out to me, for instance, and paying such close attention to the interfaces in your life is highly valuable. A big part of it comes from paying very close attention to how each product I interact with works, even the really simple, non-technical ones. I’ve had one of those at a previous company I worked at, and really appreciated it. And, of course, an adjustable desk, so that I can switch between sitting and standing with ease.

Well, if we’re ditching cost-value assessments and go straight to the dream, it would be one of the new Mac Pros, with three displays - one vertically in the middle, and two smaller ones on each side. SoftwareĪ lot of the familiar tools of most web designers & developers: Photoshop, various browsers and their dev tools, Sublime Text 2 for coding, Evernote… but also some lesser known things, like ImageOptim for compression, Antetype for prototyping, and then utilities like Xscope, ColorSnapper, Github for Mac, Caffeine, Fantastical, Alfred, Dropbox. I also do a bunch of paper sketching with sharpies, responsive sketchbooks and UI stencils.
ANTETYPE MAC PRO
Hardwareįor most of my work, I use a retina Macbook Pro and a Logitech Performance MX. On that product, I do most of the interaction design, visual design, and front end markup and styles.
I do product design & development at my own startup called Presentate, an HTML5-based presentation tool. My name is Faruk Ates, I am a designer, developer, and entrepreneur.
