Here are resources, books, articles or videos I’ve compiled on the subject of evangelizing design or growing design influence. I’m surprised that there aren’t more materials out there (web searches for “design evangelism”, “ux evangelism”, “design advocacy”, etc. didn’t return much beyond what you see here).

Suggestions? Please Leave a comment.
