Description of the article « Introduction to Design Thinking for UX Beginners: 5 Steps to Creating a Digital Experience That Engages Users with UX Design, UI Design, and User Research. Start Building Your UX Career »
If you're curious about UX design but don't know where to start, this book gives you a plain-language introduction to the field and to design thinking, the five-step process many UX teams use to solve problems.
Uijun Park covers the fundamentals of UX design and how it affects business results, the difference between UX and UI design, and a set of established UX design principles. The book also discusses the mindset that helps beginners make progress, and why originality matters less than you might expect.
It's written for complete beginners: people considering a career change into UX, students, and anyone who works with UX designers and wants to understand what they do. No design background is needed.
At around 160 pages it gives you a map of the field rather than deep expertise in any one area. Good next steps are the companion book, Introduction to User Research for UX Beginners, or Don't Make Me Think, Revisited for usability.
