I loved this! It was refreshing to hear your guest talk about using white space as a design decision to group elements without adding more visual noise to the design. The proper application of white space is an art form itself and it's very important when you have to create an application that can be very information intensive because you don't need to add even more to the user's cognitive load. I wish more people would listen to this, maybe one day I won't have to give a ten minute dissertation about why I am not cramming more things into a page and white space doesn't mean I'm lazy. Thank you!
