Law of the Hammer ux hints.

com

If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend


to treat everything as if it were a nail.

The law can get spotted in many aspects of UX design or


development process, for instance:

Design system Range of products


Dictates UX
product
pattern pattern product

The downside of having established design


patterns is limited user experience. In this case
the design process becomes pattern-centric
instead of being user-centric.
