===About===
===Who We Are===
We are the team of designers, content designers, researchers, and managers who work on everything related to Firefox.


Hi and welcome to the Firefox UX Wiki page! We’re a fun lovin’ bunch of designers, developers, and researchers dedicated to helping create great products that make sense and bring joy to people. You can find us hanging out in #UX on Slack (drop by and say hi!)

===Design Values===
Learn more about us on our blog [https://blog.mozilla.org/ux/ on Mozilla.org] or [https://medium.com/firefox-ux on Medium]. You can also follow us on [https://twitter.com/FirefoxUX Twitter].
 
As we design new features for our existing products, take Firefox to new platforms, and create new products, we find ourselves asking — is this Firefoxy? Is what we’re making a clear expression of what it means to be Firefox? What will make it more Firefoxy? And what will we not do because it’s not true to Firefox? As such we have created the [http://design.firefox.com/values/ Firefox Design Values] to serve as a tool to help us understand the attributes of "Firefoxiness" and to guide us as we work.
 
==User Experience (UX)==
 
Firefox UXers can be found in #ux on Slack. If you have general inquiries regarding Firefox, please contact [mailto:psackl@mozilla.com Philipp Sackl]. For all other UX matters, please contact [mailto:menros@mozilla.com Madhava Enros].
 
Our UX designers are grouped into pods, balanced for skills and seniority, such that each should have all it needs to take a project from beginning to completion, in partnership with research, design engineering, and content strategy UX team members. We’ve also created the groups to minimize time-zone spread.
 
Now, the atomic unit of UX assignment is the pod rather than an individual, which means that we’ll always have design team-members for review and feedback on all of our projects. It may mean we can commit to fewer overall projects, but the ones we do commit to should have fewer roadblocks, be able to move faster and create higher quality work.

==Design Engineering==
 
For Design Engineering inquiries, please contact [mailto:bwinton@mozilla.com Blake Winton].
 
Design Engineers live in the shadowy world between design and engineering, simultaneously being both and neither. Wearing the skin of an engineer, while carrying the heart of a designer. Assuring each we ''are'' on their team (and yes, we're on ''your'' team, too).  We take the most outlandish ideas and create interactive prototypes to learn from, and also jump in at the end of a project and help polish off many of the rough edges.
 
If you need pretty graphics, or detailed specifications, you should ask one of the nice people listed above. If you already have those, and want to see how well they work in the real world, or need someone to move a button up a couple of pixels, then please give us a shout.

==Content Strategy==
 
Content Strategy works to make Firefox look and sound human.  We write the words and create the illustrations that appear in Firefox when you’re first learning to use it, when you’ve run into a problem, and when you need to know that things have changed.  We work to make sure that all content in the product is useful, necessary, and appropriate. We collaborate closely with our localization and legal teams,as well as with content creators around the organization. We develop and maintain standards for voice and tone, word use, editorial style, and content patterns.
 
For Content Strategy inquiries, please contact [mailto:mheubusch@mozilla.com Michelle Heubusch].
