Unfinished: Notes on Designing Experience in a World That Never Stops Changing
Unfinished: Notes on Designing Experience in a World That Never Stops Changing
Written and evolving with Haider Ali - “Perfection is slow. Progress teaches.”
About the Book
Design is never finished—it’s only released, observed, and revised.
The Unfinished Book of Designing Experience is a living manuscript about the craft and mindset of designing experiences that evolve with people, systems, and time. It blends reflection, practice, and principle—drawn from years of working inside complex organizations where change is constant and “final” is an illusion.
Each section explores a different dimension of modern experience design—from trust and clarity to AI-driven workflows and culture. Rather than prescribing rules, it shares field-tested moves, frameworks, and lessons that can be applied immediately.
This book will grow and change with each edition. Early readers will see drafts, updates, and revisions in real time. It’s not a finished book—it’s a shared practice in progress.
