My Association With UXmatters

TO: Pabini Gabriel-Petit, Editor, UXmatter

CC: Everyone

13 October 2021

4ourth Mobile believes in designing products for everyone, without favor. Intrinsic to the practice area is a lack of room for discrimination of any sort, at any level.

I, and my company, cannot support in thought word or deed any organization that assumes the primacy of one group over another in any manner. I am especially disappointed and disconcerted that your statements were delivered in the guise of UXmatters. This associates all contributors such as myself with these positions.

I will not be submitting further articles for consideration of publication by UXmatters, and request withdrawal from the Advisory Board with immediate effect.

If the situation at UXmatters changes in a significant way, such as revisions to staff and leadership, I am happy to be contacted with this information, so I may reconsider my associations in the future.
