Intuitive design happens when current knowledge is the same as the target knowledge.

When creating great experiences, it's not so much about doing what users expect. Instead, it's about creating a design that clearly meets their needs at the instant they need it.

Intuitive design is how we give the user new superpowers.

Users scan a page looking for trigger words. If they find a trigger word, they click on it but if they don’t find it, they go to search. That’s the way it works on 99% of sites, although Amazon is an exception. That’s because Amazon has done a great job of training users to know that absolutely nothing on the home page is of any use.

Once you eliminate quality as a requirement, the entire design process becomes a whole lot easier.
