Occam’s
Razor Law
The simplest solution is usually the best one for users.
HOW IT WORKS: Simpler designs minimize cognitive load, reduce errors, and improve efficiency. Features, steps, and interactions should be essential and direct.
IN UX/UI/AI DESIGN: UX, UI, and AIX designers remove redundant elements, simplify navigation, and streamline workflows. AI can suggest minimalist solutions and prioritize core functionality over clutter.
EXAMPLE: A signup form asks only for necessary information. A GenAI assistant proposes concise options and eliminates redundant inputs to simplify completion.
