Information Architecture and UX Design
Published by Springer Nature in 2025, my book written with Drs. Wei Ding and Xia Lin, explores the next frontier of human-centered design. Updated for the AI future, this third edition shows how to build with impact today and tomorrow.
We cover how human factors shape design, engagement, and everyday interaction, guided by proven HCI principles. At its core is a central idea: humans are continually adapting to rapidly advancing technology. The book is ranked among the top titles in the publisher's influential Information Concepts series, and is widely used in academic and professional settings.
