‘This Human’ is a great book about the person who is doing the designing and for people who are passionate and determined to have a positive impact with their work.
Content | There are many great design books in existence that teach us about design process, tools and methods. With the increasing popularity of design thinking and human-centred design we’ve also seen more material discussing various aspects of the practice. One missing aspect, almost in an ironic twist, is what it takes to be the actual person who is doing the designing. The name ‘This Human’ is referring to that person.

Quote | 'Dr Senova knows what she's talking about. Here's a book you can treasure, savour and revisit at every stage of your creative life.' Marty Neumeier -Director of Transformation at Liquid Agency and best selling author of The Brand Gap, The Brand Flip and ZAG. |
