Making Design Decisions: How to design effective user interfaces at warp-speed – Tommy Geoco

Making Design Decisions Information

This book outlines a step-by-step process for making good design decisions quickly.

This price will increase this summer.

While this workbook incorporates a few beginner concepts, it is not a beginner’s guide for pre-career designers. It is a reference handbook for product builders.

It is the culmination of 13 years of practice, mentorship, and research collected throughout my career. I created it for craftspeople who are in the trenches of shipping digital products in highly competitive markets or finding product-market fit via rapid market entry.

My mission is to help you if you’ve ever said to yourself:

• “Does this UI design decision matter?”
