Books that helped me at the start
You asked me in the comments which books helped me at the beginning of my design career, so I’m sharing the list here. All of these books are available in different languages. 1. Don’t Make Me Think — Steve Krug Teaches you to see interfaces through user effort and remove everything that makes people stop and think. 2. The Design of Everyуday Things — Don Norman Explains how design fails in daily life and how to build products that match human behavior. 3. Emotional Design — Don Norman Shows why emotions matter and how good design works not only logically, but emotionally. 4. Universal Principles of Design — William Lidwell et al. A clear overview of core design principles that apply across UX, UI, and product thinking. 5. Web Form Design — Luke Wroblewski A practical guide to designing forms that people actually complete without frustration.
Hey everyone!
I’m back from a dreamy 2-week vacation in Morocco 🌊 And decided to start with a quick Q&A — thanks for all your questions in comments and DMs! 💛 Let’s go Where are you from? I was born and raised in Kazan, Russia. What’s your education? I have a degree in programming. Later on, while already working as a designer, I got a master’s degree in textile design. Why did you become a designer? While learning to code, I realized I was way more into how things looked than how they worked. Why this channel? I started it just for myself — years ago on a different platform (VK), when I worked in a web studio. I were always searching for good mockups and fonts. Even though I left the studio long ago, I kept collecting and sharing — just for fun. And here we are. How did you become a UX/UI designer? 13 years ago, there were no courses, no mentors. But there were books — books that taught the value of clarity, balance, contrast, grouping, and space. In the first year, I read a lot and practiced by copying great work to build up my skills. Then I joined a startup, where I learned everything through real projects — and much of that experience still helps me today. Was I scared? Yes, 100%. I already had a stable, well-paid job, and switching paths felt like a big risk. I kept thinking: “Can I really be a designer without an art degree?” Then my neighbor — a backend developer — told me that “You don’t need to be an artist to be a UX UI designer.” He also said that some of the designers he works with don’t have any education. That helped me stop overthinking and just start. If you’ve ever had the same doubts — forget them. You don’t need a perfect background. You need curiosity, consistency, and the courage to begin. Love you all. Happy Friday — and never settle. 💛
