Tirso Gamboa — Week 1 Assignment
Born in the Philippines, grew up in Chicago, and I’ve been in NYC for almost 10 years. I started my careers in magazine editorial and now work on branded content. I’m looking to expand my design skills in a UX/UI capacity. Outside of design, I am a tennis player, Starbucks drinker, constant traveler and equal opportunity eater.
In the iOS Human Interface guidelines, I didn’t know…
… to consider dark mode. It would be interesting to see how this setting affects and influences the design.
… the downside of using humor. I’m intrigued in conversational design and I would have assumed that humor shows personality within an app.
Gourmand
For the foodies that eat out a lot (more than they probably should), Gourmand provides curated content platform of restaurants from food/lifestyle experts.

How at both the Feed and at the Restaurant detail level how can you make it plain the elevated editorial experience that you are providing for your users?
Would you imagine that ONLY recommended/rated by y’all restaurants would appear in the app?
We chatted about it in class, but to record: it might be interesting to explore your own interest in the visiting everywhere that is recommended or at least seeing how many you have been to versus the total best available.
Is the rating you can search by in the map view something that will be visible in every restaurant detail page or in other places? Scratch that, just noticed the “rating” circle. Perhaps I ignored because it wasn’t real content!
