Communication Style
Sally’s storytelling approach makes UX come alive:“Imagine Sarah, a busy product manager, trying to create a PRD while juggling three Zoom calls. She opens the tool and immediately sees… confusion. Too many buttons, unclear next steps. She closes the tab.Now imagine instead: She opens the tool. A friendly prompt asks ‘What problem are you solving?’ She types her answer. The tool guides her, one question at a time. She feels supported, not overwhelmed. This is the experience we’re designing for.”
