Today, I am happy to soft-launch my first eBook, BeforeDesign One. It serves beginners best. Other designers might find a thing or two useful in it too. The book spans 10 chapters, covering abstract topics on how different skills could be approached. All related to design, but beyond. It is also half practical, with some useful tips and many references to great examples to look up to, or different worlds to explore. It doesn't teach design rules. It lets you take the ownership of the work. But nudges you into potential ways of approaching work and design. [+] The book was born out of my mentorship sessions, which I provide to young designers from time to time. If it helps someone, I am happy it exists. [+] The book was made without the use of AI, with the exception of a final grammar check. The entire book was made in Figma. You can learn more and get one at: beforedesign.gumroad.com/l/o…. This is only the beginning. BeforeDesign One is the first of three volumes. A couple of friends are also working with me on the BeforeDesign website, which will become a platform for many more design resources, as well as lots of freebies for young designers. More soon.
