Questions before conclusions.
Tess Field is a fictional researcher and designer created for this portfolio. The notes are original exercises in noticing, interpreting and proposing. They do not report real participant research.
I am interested in the information people need before they can act with confidence. Sometimes it is an instruction. Often it is a small acknowledgment, an explanation of permission, or a clear account of what remains uncertain.
A working distinction
- A scene describes what is present in the example.
- An interpretation proposes why that arrangement might matter.
- A design proposal makes the interpretation concrete enough to question.
- A limit states what the example cannot prove.
Using these notes
The diagrams are original and intentionally simple. They show proposed sequences rather than measured journeys. The reader can change the article's type size; no preference or personal information is saved.
