Own Your UX Expertise

Professional UX tools you keep forever. No monthly bills, no access anxiety. Research-backed principles and implementation guides from 20+ years of design experience. Built for working professionals who need evidence-based rationale, not more subscriptions.

Our Mission

Building the most comprehensive, research-validated design framework in the world

End Subjective Design Debates

Replace "I think" with "Research shows." Every principle is backed by peer-reviewed studies from leading institutions.

Accelerate Design Decisions

Stop reinventing the wheel. Apply proven patterns that have been validated across thousands of products and millions of users.

Bridge Theory and Practice

Connect academic research with real-world implementation. Each principle includes modern examples from companies like Stripe, Linear, and Notion.

Create Universal Design Language

Provide a shared vocabulary for designers, developers, and product managers to collaborate effectively across teams and organizations.

About the Author

Jose L. Hurtado is a UX/UI designer and researcher with over 15 years of experience building digital products for global companies. His work spans fintech, healthcare, education, and enterprise software.

Frustrated by subjective design debates and the lack of a systematic framework, Jose spent 6+ months researching and synthesizing 2,800+ peer-reviewed studies to create this comprehensive principles library.

The goal: empower designers, developers, and product teams with evidence-based methodology that transforms design from art to science.

Research & Discovery

Systematic literature review of peer-reviewed studies from HCI, cognitive psychology, and design research. Minimum 15-25 citations per principle.

02

Validation & Testing

Cross-reference findings across multiple studies. Verify replicability and statistical significance. Exclude one-off findings and unsupported claims.

03

Practical Application

04

Continuous Refinement

Monthly updates with new research findings. Community feedback integration. Evolving examples as design patterns mature.
