Books
I authored several books on experience design and prototyping. 
The most recent book, ‘Exploring Experience Design’, is intended for high-school and college students who are interested in, and curious about design but are not aware of the various possibilities.  
my popular Axure prototyping books combined tool mastery with a deeper philosophy: that prototypes are not just deliverables, but engines for storytelling, collaboration, validation, and user testing across the entire design life cycle. While the specific tools have evolved - from Axure in its prime to today’s AI-powered, hyper-fidelity workflows - the core ideas of how prototypes shape design conversations remain as relevant as ever.
