Universal Principles of UX" by Irene Pereyra is a comprehensive guide to user experience design, offering 100 "timeless" strategies derived from over 15 years of real-world client projects. Rather than a step-by-step technical manual, the book serves as a "philosophical anthology" that teaches readers how to think like a UX designer.
Organized into six categories (Consider, Empathize, Define, Research, Design, and Validate), each principle is presented with clear explanations, practical examples, and engaging visuals across a two-page spread. It's a valuable resource for designers of all levels, emphasizing a strategic mindset and a deep understanding of human interaction with technology.
