Books by William Lidwell, Kritina Holden, and Jill Butler

William Lidwell, Kritina Holden, and Jill Butler are designers and educators whose collaboration on Universal Principles of Design grew out of frustration with the fragmentation of design knowledge across disciplines. Lidwell has taught design at the University of Houston and has consulted on product and communication design. Holden and Butler contributed expertise in human factors and visual design. The book, first published in 2003 by Rockport Publishers, has become a widely used reference in design education and professional practice, with multiple revised and expanded editions.
