Quotables
“Clarity helps calibrate the expectations of the person interacting with your art.” – Rick Kitagawa
“Broken expectations – whether these expectations were explicit or implicit – are one of the biggest violations of trust.” – Rick Kitagawa
“Does this current experience, situation, or interaction rhyme with the social norms I’m versed in? With my past experiences?” – Lisa Lambert
‘“House mouse” is now a term we can all use when someone is breaking social norms and expectations without being clear about what they’re doing and why they’re doing so. Otherwise, it can come across like you’re just being a menace and house mousing erodes trust.” – Lisa Lambert
