Today is my 365th as an official User Experience Designer. Despite having gradually immersed myself in the UX world prior to that, this year I’ve learned A LOT—from my colleagues, from events, and from the internet.
These are my favourite free online resources. If you’re a new UXer, they’ll probably be useful to you, too.

TED Talk: David Kelley
David Kelley’s contribution to design can’t be understated. It may be getting on a bit but his famous TED Talk on Human-Centered Design deserves its place in history*. Watch David Kelley’s “Human-Centered Design“.
*For the backing music during the section about the Prada store, if nothing else.
