Martin Tutko

Hello 👋🏼, and welcome to my website. I’m glad you have found your way here. My name is Martin, and currently, I’m working as a senior product designer @ Colonial First State in Australia.

In my spare time I like reading and writing, table tennis, hiking, and occasionally enjoying moments of solitude. This website is mostly a collection of my scribbles on various topics, predominantly design-related, but not only.

If you want to learn more about me, feel free to reach out 👋🏼 I’m always keen to chat to interesting people.

Today's Photo

I like taking photos of interesting creation of nature. One random photo of mine at the time. That's all.

This upward view from the base of a tall Eucalyptus at night reminds me of neural networks. The branches dissolving into the night as if the tree was drawing thoughts from the sky.

Have you noticed how good design solves a problem and is usually quite noticeable? Great design, on the other hand, seamlessly integrates into the user experience, becoming almost invisible. 👏🏼🎉

This leads to the paradox of good design, which I contemplated a while ago.

In other words, great design fades into the background, letting the user focus on the purpose or task at hand rather than the design itself.

This could be one of the reasons why there are so many unrecognised good designers.

Agree? Disagree? 🤔😜
