about antimatter

 

antimatter.cc is the home of designer Ken Tango (yes, that's my real name). I have over ten years of experience in visual and interaction design, much of that time being spent at major software companies.

My current gig is at Cisco/WebEx, where I am a Senior User Interface Designer contributing to a number of new, leading-edge products.

Any other professional questions might be answered with a look at my resume.

anything else?

 

Looking for a design philosphy? Ok, I'll give it a shot...

I believe that design can't exist without purpose. Whether that purpose is to annoy or delight should be clear. Don't be afraid of designing something that's ugly, so long as that is your intent.

Trends are sometimes fun, but can distract you from the proper solution to your problem. Remember when everyone was drinking margaritas? Turns out that all you needed was a beer. I guess design is like that.

If there has ever been a single quote that has freed me from confusion, doubt or judgement in design, it has been this one:

" A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
-- Antoine de Saint-Exupery
