Middle of the road I guess. This had good info but was a terrible audio book.

Picked this up to prepare myself for the product design bachelor I'm about to start in a month. While I am obviously very interested in this field and miraciously got into design school, I have to admit that I know next to nothing about design. This gave some valuable insight into the work of a designer. The principles are mostly focused around creating a productive environment for a design team - therefore I would recommend it to those who are interested about the work life of a designer and the skills you will have to acquire to make impactful designs. If you are an experienced designer this might not be very useful for you - however it could still prove useful and is worth a read, afterall it's free and quite short.

Although this audiobook might be primarily geared towards those who are new to product design, I found it interesting and had a few takeaways that I’ll be bringing to my work.

A lot of the processes mentioned are ways of working that I’m used to, but even still it was neat to hear Aarron’s take on them, and learn from his experience.

The points about working remotely are particularly relevant during covid.

I was hoping this would be less about process and more about “product design principles” maybe more along the lines of the book “universal principles of design”, but even still I found it listenable and enjoyable.
