UX Writing

Named a "must-read" for anyone with any role in Product Design, User Friendly is a super compelling look at the history and foundations of UX. Cliff Kuang and Robert Fabricant reveal the untold story of a paradigm that quietly rules our modern lives: the assumption that machines should anticipate what we need. Spanning over a century of sweeping changes, from women's rights to the Great Depression to World War II to the rise of the digital era, this book unpacks the ways in which the world has been--and continues to be--remade according to the principles of the once-obscure discipline of user-experience design.

Podcast

Entrepreneurship & Product

Masters of Scale's mission is to democratize entrepreneurship. Podcast host Reid Hoffman and a key guest set out to describe and prove theories that explain how great entrepreneurs take their companies from zero to a gazillion. Most episodes begin with an entertaining tale that sets the stage for Reid to reveal a new theory about scaling. It then unfolds like a detective story as he tests and turns the idea with some of the most iconic masters of scale on the planet. At the end of each episode we come full circle to where we started – a notion, theory, or hunch that starts to make a lot of sense. Much more than just an interview show, this is a genre-defining series on how to think boldly and differently about the world.

Books

Visual Design

A treatise that focuses on "Why" instead of "How", Shape of Design is a thoughtful analysis of the design discipline and its characteristics, so we can better practice our craft. This book aims to look at the mindset and worldview that designing develops in order to answer one big, important question: How can we make things that help all of us live better?"
