If you're looking to build a better product (and who isn't?), Klein is here to help. Build Better Products is your go-to guide for relevant frameworks, useful exercises, and actionable expert advice. --Anne Raimondi, SVP of Marketing, Zendesk, and lecturer, Stanford Graduate School of Business

We all know that most products fail, but few books offer a prescriptive way to avoid this grim reality. Use Laura's book to guide your product teams toward a successful end run. --Jaime Levy, author, UX Strategy About the Author Laura fell in love with technology when she saw her first user research session over 20 years ago. Since then, she's worked as an engineer, UX designer, and product manager in Silicon Valley for companies of all sizes. Her books, Build Better Products (Rosenfeld Media, 2016) and UX for Lean Startups (O'Reilly Media, 2013), help teams learn more about their users and apply that knowledge to make products people use and love. She advises early stage startups and consults with companies that want to improve their research, UX, and product development processes. She has a deep and abiding love of business jargon, and her fondest wish is to someday facilitate a synergy or synergize a facilitation. Whichever is easier.
