UX is a shared language, but only when everyone actually speaks it. Too often a designer, a developer and a stakeholder each mean something slightly different by the same word, and good ideas get lost in translation.

UXlexicon began as my own cheat-sheet: a simple, no-nonsense place to look up the terms we use every day and finally agree on what they mean, with clear definitions, real examples, and the phonetics to say them out loud with confidence.

The goal is simple: help you speak UX fluently, whether you're just starting out or explaining your work to someone who isn't a designer. If it saves you one confusing meeting, it has done its job. Have a term we're missing, or just want to say hi? Write to me, I read every message.
