Design career workbook

The Product Design Career Workbook is a handbook of exercises for UX designers written by Artiom Dashinsky, a product designer, author and maker.

I contributed to the book with a couple of exercises on defining personal goals and commitments, as well as how to measure your own energy mapping.

The book has 39 exercises in total and is a brilliant tool for designers looking to reflect on and develop their career.

It’s designed to help you:

  • Think more clearly — organise your thoughts

  • Become more self-aware — reflect on your strengths and biases

  • Make better decisions — make more informed choices

  • Grow your career — set clear goals and create actionable plans.

Journalling can be a great way to help with decision-making, conflict resolution, and identifying assumptions and opportunities.

Working through thoughts in a structured way can help to break down big ideas and distil some overthinking that often leads to overwhelm.

Using a workbook like this that is tuned into your career as a guide is a good resource to get started and take control of your personal development.
