My 14 favourite design links of 2015

If you teach a man anything, he will never learn.” - George Bernard Shaw

I agree. Doing, or teaching something is a more effective way to learn.

But, I still love to read! 

These 14 links that I’ve collected have made a huge impact on me, and the way I think about designing experiences. Hopefully they might help you too.

Some were published longer than a year ago, but I think that says something about their quality and longevity, attributes that most design writing lacks.
