Design book club

$5.00

Join us for our quarterly book club discussion and an opportunity to meet other researchers, UXers and others interested in design.

Established in 2018, we are a local book club for individuals interested in reading and casually discussing design books on a quarterly basis. We choose books that may not fit the traditional definition of a design book, as recommended by our current members. If this sounds interesting to you, we warmly welcome you to join us!

Join us for our quarterly book club discussion and an opportunity to meet other researchers, UXers and others interested in design.

Established in 2018, we are a local book club for individuals interested in reading and casually discussing design books on a quarterly basis. We choose books that may not fit the traditional definition of a design book, as recommended by our current members. If this sounds interesting to you, we warmly welcome you to join us!

For 2024, we will read and discuss one book per quarter. Attendees are strongly encouraged to read the selection in its entirety so that they can more fully participate in our discussion, but we encourage those who didn’t finish the selection to join us as well. (Final dates to come soon!)
