Just try UX?: Book – Kyungmin Lee

Just try UX?

Book Publication

Drawing from my practical experience as an active UX designer, I wrote about the current state of UX design and offered guidance for those who want to become UX designers, as well as for current designers, engineers, and marketers who wish to better understand the role.

Sometimes like a mentor,
Sometimes as a colleague,
To those finding their path in UX,
This book speaks about the present and future of UX design.

ABOUT

The book introduces the basic concepts of UX for job seekers who want to become UX designers, offers a clear understanding of UX design for those in related fields such as product management, marketing, and development, and provides practical guidance for designers who want to expand their UX careers. It also resonates deeply with UX designers already working in the field.

This is not a theory book. It is an honest collection of real UX work experiences, a reflection from a senior designer and colleague on what UX design truly is, what skills designers need after real trial and error, and how the role of UX designers will continue to evolve.

The 4th edition is scheduled for release in 2026

My UX book remains in active demand, with a 4th print run planned for April 2026, reflecting consistent reader engagement.

Through this project, I strengthened my ability to explain complex UX concepts clearly, mentor beginners, and translate real-world product experience into structured, approachable guidance, skills that directly elevate my impact as a senior UX designer.
