Books that I recommend

Books have had a great impact on my life tremendously during the past 2 years. During the pandemic I had nothing to do and I felt lost. Books where a great way for me to stay motivated and look at my future in a positive direction. But as a designer there have been lots of books written by professionals who give excellent design tips. Some of these books have inspired me to post more consistently on social media and some have provided great marketing advice. Here are my book recommendations that every designer should read.

This week I wanted to list a couple of books that I recommend that every designer should read.
