IT'S HERE! Weighing in at a hefty 294 pages, I am proud to report that Leah Buley and my 2nd Edition of THE USER EXPERIENCE TEAM OF ONE is indeed a no-stone-unturned survival guide for #UX and #ProductDesign practitioners of all kinds. I'm going to put my humility aside, friends and say this: if you're just starting out or are transitioning from another industry, I've got two words START HERE. There is simply no better, clearer, simpler or more practical guide to all you need to know about this job. That was true of Leah's original release a decade ago — and I've done my level best to make sure it's absolutely true now, after ten years of seismic changes in all we do — and all the ways we do it. Absolutely beyond honored to have my name on this — and deeply grateful to both Rosenfeld Media and Leah for the opportunity to do it. And to have Jesse James Garrett write the foreword is truly a full-circle moment for me I still can't quite get my head around. I'll be sharing more in the days and weeks to come — but you can learn more and and save 15% on pre-orders right here: https://lnkd.in/eB55wU4j
