My Taste

taste is knowing why something works, and saying it in one line. this is the rubric i run on every screen, motion spec and ai output. mine included.

send me something that feels off. i'll tell you why, in one line.

How I
judge
work.

/01RUBRIC · FEEL

Feel before features

if it doesn't land in five seconds, more features won't save it.
/02RUBRIC · CONTEXT

Context before canvas

a screen without context is decoration. i ask who, when and why before i draw anything.
/03RUBRIC · AI

AI shows its work

if the model can't show what it used, people can't trust it. sources, undo and a way out.
/04RUBRIC · CUT

Cut what doesn't earn

the best feature is often the one you removed. if it doesn't earn its place, it goes.

See it applied

mediocre vs exceptional. the rubric, applied.

	mediocre	exceptional
Feel	five things shouting for attention.	one clear next step, in five seconds.
Context	one generic screen for everyone.	knows who you are and what you’re doing.
AI shows its work	confident answer. no sources. no undo.	shows what it used. edit, undo, your call.
When it’s wrong	keeps going like nothing happened.	says it’s unsure. hands control back.
Cut	every feature the roadmap had.	only what earned its place.
