This project explores various design methods to make digital interface design more flexible and adaptable to different cultural contexts, ultimately enhancing the user experience.

Through design research and a series of experiments, the project deconstructs the current interface design process into three key dimensions: the amount of information, the value hierarchy of the information, and the visual character of the information. It examines how each of these dimensions could be influenced by cultural contexts and proposes new approaches to make interface design more fluid and responsive based on these dimensions. While challenging current interface design practices, the project also acknowledges and preserves the essential values embedded within them. As a result, it proposes variable interface methods to create interfaces that are not only flexible and adaptable but also maintain critical design qualities such as usability, scalability, and visual balance.

This project is written by an interaction design practitioner passionate about crafting meaningful digital experiences, with professional experience in interface design across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. This project is written to inspire other interaction designers to explore new avenues and create digital experiences that are as rich and diverse as possible.
