It’s for you if

• You’re interested in learning about usability basics, without too much detail
• You’re a maker but don’t understand how design can help with your builds or MVPs
• You think you’re not creative and tend to ignore design (but you know you shouldn’t)

Content style

• The content is currently mostly written, with images
• It's not long, heavy text – a lot of it is short paragraphs and bullet summaries
• I will be slowly moving towards more video and images, and you will get those updates included
