The application of clarity and simplicity principles to a product's user interface and experience, rather than to its underlying code.Â
Rolf observed that the most successful products tend to share uncluttered, intuitive interfaces that make their purpose immediately apparent. Just as clean code prioritises readability for developers, clean design prioritises comprehension for users. The two share the same underlying mindset: don't accept halfway results, and always optimise for the person who has to work with what you have made.

"If you have a product, you see the most successful products are the one with clean design. So you have don't have clean code, but clean design. If you have something cluttered in, for example, on a mobile app, you have something that's just complicated. Those apps don't usually succeed."

"And that's kind of the same thinking process. What that you put your understanding and the usability on first place and don't accept halfway results, but always try to make it better. And that's something what you do with clean code as well. It's the same mindset, I would say."
