Reading List
In addition to reading articles and blog posts, I've been making an effort to read more books on user experience, interaction design, and design in general, outside of the classroom. We, as designers in a constantly-changing world, will never stop learning. It's important for us to understand what we're doing from a variety of perspectives. I know my lists aren't the longest, as much of what I've read so far is from courses I've taken in college, so I'm open to any suggestions and recommendations!
