This reading list is for anyone who wants to learn or deepen their knowledge in the disciplines of User Research, Usability, Information Architecture, User-Interface Design, Interaction Design, Content Strategy <\/em>or Experience Strategy<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The list is broad and includes books that exemplify design thinking, processes, methods, principles and best practices. Some of the books on this list are over 20 years old, yet still relevant more than ever.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not a day where I don\u2019t find myself applying the ideas from these books. Each has helped shaped the designer I am today, helped me advance my craft. I hope that you too, can extract the same value.<\/p>\n

    More Must-Reads On Thinking, Methods, Principles and Best Practices<\/h2>\n

    I find it helpful to choose what to read based on what\u2019s relevant at the time. Applying what you\u2019re reading, as you\u2019re thinking<\/em> and making<\/em> is a great way to solidify concepts, reflect and learn.<\/p>\n

    Some old, some new. All important reading, in no particular order.<\/p>\n
