This book is fantastic! I recently applied for an Interaction Design role at Google […] It definitely worked because I got great feedback on the design challenge and I made it to the in-person interviews.

FAQ

How can I include the paperback in the full package?

Simply add both the paperback and the full package to your cart. An automatic discount will be applied, setting your total to $79 plus shipping.
Do you have a discount for students?

Yes. If you’re a full-time student, send me an email from your ".edu" address or other proof and I’ll send you a 20% off coupon for the website. By now the book is used by students (and professors) at Harvard, Royal College of Art, MIT, Parsons, Stanford, CCA, UC Berkeley, Cornel, UCLA, Pratt, and 50+ more. The code is not valid on physical books.
How much time will it take me to read this book?

The book has 158 pages, so it should take you about 3-4 hours. I value your time, so I worked hard to keep the signal-to-noise ratio high to make sure you can finish it over a weekend.
Do you have a money back guarantee policy?

Yes. I offer a money-back guarantee for the digital products available on the website (eBooks, videos and bonus materials). I believe you'll find substantial value in these resources. However, if for any reason you feel otherwise, just contact me within 30 days of your purchase, and I'll promptly refund your money.
How long will my print copy take to arrive? How much does shipping cost?

All of your shipping costs and estimations will be available to you at checkout depending on your location.
Do you have a bulk pricing?

Yes. If you’re buying more than three copies for your team/students/event attendees reach out to me for a bulk pricing cost.
How environmentally sustainable is the product?

The paperback is print-on-demand, which means that each copy is printed for each order. This method eliminates waste and the need for storage space. Some of the book profits were lent/donated via Kiva and donated to plant 4000 trees. I suggest you buy the digital copy rather than the print version. If you buy a print version please consider reselling it on eBay or Amazon later.
I’m a non-native speaker. Will it be hard for me to understand your book?

I’m a non-native speaker as well but this book has been professionally edited and we have worked hard to make it accessible for native and non-native speakers. Read the first pages using "Look inside" feature on Amazon page of the book to see if you’re comfortable with the level of complexity.
Where can I get the PDF or Kindle version of the book "Solving Product Design Exercises: Interview Questions & Answers"?

The digital version (PDF, Kindle, ePub) is available on this website and not on Amazon due to high fees (Amazon would take 65% of the price).
