Margaret Gold Stewart has been in on the design decisions for the world's biggest websites: Google, YouTube, Facebook. So she knows a thing or two about what design can do. She has seen first-hand how even the smallest change, when multiplied by a global audience, has tremendous impact.

Know who you are designing for.
