What is good design? Well, it depends who you ask.
In the words of UX Researcher Izzie Zahorian, “Oftentimes, coming into contact with good design makes me question whether something has been designed at all.” Not too far from the Ramsian doctrine that states good design is “as little design as possible.”

We spoke with designers, researchers, and others responsible for the user experience across Google products about what they consider to be good design. From corn cob skewers to a deck of playing cards—we’ll let their responses speak for themselves.
