The User Experience Team of One: A Research and Design Survival Guide is a practical nonfiction guide by Leah Buley for people who must advance user-centered design without a mature UX department, abundant research capacity, or formal authority. First published in 2013, it addresses the realities of a solo practitioner working among product managers, engineers, marketers, and executives whose priorities may not naturally include user experience. Rather than presenting UX as a fixed sequence of exhaustive deliverables, the book frames it as a set of adaptable decisions: clarify the problem, learn enough about users, make ideas visible, test assumptions, and bring colleagues into the work. Its survival-guide orientation is central. Buley concentrates on methods that can generate credible evidence and shared direction while respecting time, budget, and organizational constraints. The result is both an introduction to the breadth of UX practice and a field manual for practitioners who need to make the case for it as they work. Although aimed at teams of one, its emphasis on focus, collaboration, and proportional effort applies beyond solo roles.
