ABOUT UX FIELDS GUIDE

Learn UX the way the work actually happens.

A learning platform for designers who want to grow across disciplines: information architecture, content design, research, interaction, visual design, and strategy. Each one is a field guide you can put to work right away.

Information Arch. Content Research Interaction Visual Strategy
WHY THIS EXISTS

Most UX education picks one lane. Real product work doesn't.

A navigation problem is also a content problem. A research finding means nothing until it shapes structure, wording, and flow. The designers who move fastest in their careers are the ones who can see across those lines.

UX Fields Guide was built to teach that way. Every guide covers one discipline in depth and shows where it connects to the others, so what you learn in one field makes you better in the next.

HOW THE PLATFORM IS DESIGNED

Deep in one field. Connected to the rest.

One discipline at a time, connected by design

Each field guide goes deep on a single practice, with its core concepts, methods, and the judgment calls experienced practitioners make. Then it maps how that practice hands off to the disciplines around it.

Built for practice

Guides come with workbooks, exercises, and diagrams you can apply to your current projects.

A community that spans disciplines

Content designers, researchers, and product designers working on the same problems from different angles. You learn your craft, and you learn how your teammates think.

THE FIELD GUIDES

Six disciplines. One connected practice.

Information architecture is live today. New guides open as they're ready, and members get them first.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

I'm Marc Royal.

I'm a content strategist, information architect, and UX researcher with about 10 years in the field. I've worked as an information architect at DocuSign and on product experience at Owl Cameras and GoPro.

Across those roles, the hardest problems never belonged to one discipline. I started UX Fields Guide to teach the connected, cross-disciplinary thinking I wish I'd learned earlier.

Start with structure.

Information architecture sits under everything else in UX, which makes it the natural first field guide.
