The role of a designer is slowly changing to explaining why we shouldn't build this AI prototype a team-member created.

people who design apps have no regard for muscle memory fr i’m gonna crash out if i click this new create button instead of library one more time on spotify

[Josi @jmstrs]

if you could pick any framework / component library to build your next tool, what would it be? looking to sway leadership into ditching mui

My new portfolio is live!

It features an interactive device for you to play with, the interactions I've shared here in the past + some written case studies of my work.

Design jobs that we'll see slowly fading away and one that we'll see needing more of.

Fading away:

The Basic Design Manager - because there are so many yet we don't need that many however having a good ONE is game changing. A good DM can pop in a Figma file and tweak files when necessary and knows how to protect designers when necessary. Someone that doesn't say "my" team but "our" team. Someone that doesn't manage...but leads, guides, and helps.

UI (only) Designer - becoming useless in a quicker, simpler, UX focused design world. First design job to go. If you can only do UI and don't want to do UX, stick to graphic design or social media graphics. That role will become more valuable than a UI designer.

UX (only) Designer - too limited. Need good UI skills, not just the basics. Second to go. The hardest yet the easiest role to get. Easy because anyone can become a UX designer but hard because it's hard to become a good UX designer. If you're a good one (can create UI, actually interesting UX, research, prototype, etc) then you are irreplaceable.

Design Researcher (only) - everyone needs to be a researcher. To standout, be able to do UX/UI as well and you'll be a top hire. Third to go.

Need more:

Product + Web Designer Generalist - designers that can design products and websites when needed. These already stand out as the best hires. Need to understand UX and have strong UI. Everyone thinks they are here, but they are really one of the above roles.

Bonus:

Designers that build - if you can design and build, well, you probably don't need a job because you're making your own income. But if you're not a soloprenuer, you'll be irreplaceable on any team if you're good.
