Verified Competencies Demonstrated by Rich McNabb

By completing this curriculum to the standards of the IxDF Educational Codex, Rich McNabb has demonstrated mastery of how to:

  • Evaluate any UI pattern through a consistent lens, weighing the problem it solves, whether it's the best option for the situation, and where it breaks down, so design judgments stay consistent and easy to share with a team.

  • Decide when a UI design pattern fits the problem at hand, and when it doesn't, rather than reaching for the familiar option by default.

  • Combine individual design patterns into a single coherent, polished user experience.

  • Structure screens with patterns, such as visual frameworks and titled sections, so users immediately know where to look, reducing confusion.

  • Design navigation with patterns such as global navigation, breadcrumbs, and search so users move freely and confidently through a product, lowering drop-off.

  • Organize complex content and large datasets with patterns such as tabs, lists, and pagination to keep interfaces clear and easy to scan, helping users find what they need without frustration.

  • Build forms and data-entry flows with patterns such as autocomplete and forgiving formats that minimize effort and prevent costly errors, improving completion and reducing abandonment.

  • Strengthen engagement, retention, and trust with social patterns like achievements, leaderboards, and starred reviews that add genuine value rather than noise.

  • Recognize manipulative "dark patterns" and weigh their real cost to users and the company's reputation.

  • Analyze the interfaces of leading products to see which patterns work, how they combine into a coherent whole, and how to apply those lessons to new design challenges.
