@mrtylerwhite and I share what work outside of Figma looks like for us in the latest episode of Design Table Podcast.

Designers want ‘UX’ to have a seat at the table. Yet, all we do is fight about what tool is best.
Canvas vs. code, Webflow vs. Framer. Figma vs. whatever. If we as a profession want to be taken more seriously, we have to zoom out and discuss the bigger picture.
Real UX talk about how it works and where it needs to change in today’s AI wave, for example. But also;
- How to think through edge cases in our work (if you want to keep with tools, but better);
- figure out to what degree designers should touch code (if at all);
- and what else we can do to stand out when each tool does more or less the same thing.
If you want to stand out as a designer, talk about what you have to offer outside of the tools you use. No more ‘Figma is [clickbait-y thing]’.
