Description

Whether you're a designer or not, you make design decisions every day.


Successful design projects require equal participation from both the client and the design team. Yet, for most people who buy design, the process remains a mystery.


In his follow-up to Design Is a Job, Mike Monteiro demystifies the design process and helps you prepare for your role. Ensure you're asking the right questions, giving effective feedback, and hiring designers who will challenge you to make your product the best it can be.

About the Author

Mike Monteiro is cofounder and design director of Mule Design, an interactive design studio whose work has been called "delightfully hostile" by The New Yorker. He's written four books: Design Is a Job, You're My Favorite Client, Ruined by Design, and The Collected Angers. He's not as smart as his wife, or as charming as his dog. He's pretty much given up on tech and is considering a future as a lighthouse keeper or record store owner, or maybe opening a record store in a lighthouse.

Reviews

The client-designer relationship is so poorly documented and so fraught that it's a miracle anything good comes from it. It doesn't have to be that way. If you want to change the game, Mike Monteiro has written the game changer.
