The Design of Everyday Things by Don Norman, AKA the bible for the product designers, UX designers, and product managers. It is one of the must-read books for all the designers. The book stays on my reading list for so long, and I finally finished it recently. I would like to share my book review of the book in this video, and most importantly, how we can become a better designer with the methods and principles from this book? Check it out!
👏Hi there! I’m Bear, a Product Designer, a Design Mentor, and an Apple Award-Winning Podcast Host.
I’m a self-taught designer with a science educational background who has helped large enterprises, startups, and clients across China, the US, and New Zealand with digital products – for over 16 years. Between my work hours and family time, I read, draw, do podcasts and make videos around tech, design and productivity.
🐻 My journey
After working for over 10 years as a graphic and multimedia designer, I moved to a new country without any local working experience, let alone experience in UX. This was a challenging but stimulating move, right? I taught myself UX in 6 months and landed my first UX job with New Zealand's top fitness company. Now, I'm a Product Designer at one of the best tech companies in the Southern Hemisphere, and I'm mentoring design students to transition their career to design and start their UX Design journey.
