Interfaces that start from a sentence

16 Sep 2025 · UI & UX

By Yerlin Ugarte

Book a table. Find a specialty. Understand a tax. Layout follows the sentence the user needs to finish.

I do not start in a design file for its own sake. I start with the sentence: book a table, find a doctor, understand a municipal tax, ask for a hidden waterfall. If the interface does not complete that sentence on a cheap phone, the palette does not matter.

Craft is then a short list: contrast that holds, tap targets of 44px, type that can be read in a waiting room, motion short enough to ignore, at most two typefaces. Decoration that does not carry meaning is cut. The component is the specification — there is no mockup that dies in a handoff.

That is why a restaurant in Belén, a clinic in Rivas and a travel desk in La Fortuna can share a method without sharing a look. Each product has a local sentence. The interface is how that sentence is spoken.
