It's crazy a designer is way smarter than some financial gurus out there
@paracletes
🤣🤣that thumbnail is amazing. totally agree, have to become full stack to survive as a designer and developer in the future
@Michimoro
I'd add Accessibility auditing and remediation, especially with recent DOJ ruling for mandatory compliance for WCAG 2.1.

Design/UX is an expensive and time-consuming luxury, it is easy to cut the budget there without hesitation. I've been building for the web for 30 years, from early pre-adobe Flash (I still have the macromedia CD), to the beginnings of JavaScript, through CMS, UX, UI Front End, and all other points. The tide is out, it'll come back, it always does. One-trick ponies, like pixel pushing, will never survive the lean years, they'll just hire coders "with an eye for design" and the rest will go make coffee. BUT when things return, the big spending will happen and you'll be over-booked. When that happens, don't be foolish with new found money, stay lean.

As a game UI designer, having the skills to implement UI into a game engine, and solve bugs and problems within Unity/Unreal has given me a good leg up recently. I also enjoy it - as I get bored doing one thing for too long, and its nice to have some binary problems to solve, as good design choices aren't always as set in stone.
@Adanmacreates
I'm noticing UI Designer jobs are either for large companies starting new design systems, or marketing agencies that don't understand how to hire for UX lol
@TrlRnrRvs
One thing I would add to all of this, though, is the need to have exceptional writing skills. I know we have chat, GPT, etc. to help us construct things, but in the end, I still think it’s important to develop and have this skill, Especially as it pertains to the Research side of things.

Tbh something is wrong in the system if the laid offs are only on the bottom and not at the top, I mean, not only there are not layoffs but the CEO's salaries aren't even being diminished... That's SUS if you ask me.
@12XFactor
ya, many UI design jobs got converted into product design jobs. But I can tell you that besides the gaming industry, the automotive industry is one of the rare fields where pure UI designers are still existing.
@s0l0r1d4
Great advice in general, but as a frontend developer, I don't recommend low/no-code tools. I used to use them before I learned to code, and the performance outcomes ranged from suboptimal to abysmal! HTML and CSS are super easy, no matter how much you hate to code you'll pick them up in no time.
@AkinsRealm
Thank you for another great video! I'm glad that I'm learning (and getting good at it actually :)) Framer as a designer! 🙌
@StayAwhile-yz5sk
As a deisgner, who tried to be "full-stack", front-end etc, I disagree. Guys if you become full stack you will become agency owner, and not a good designer. Because I found out that when I grab a work, and start doing a front-end part it's much quicker for me to drop this job to my mate, whos doing it for years, and he making this part pretty easy (and I struggling sometimes, and refreshing my knowledge each time) ! So only the difference was now that when I was getting a new job or task, I told that I will do everything. and clients were picking me instead of single designer. They just want "all inculded" pack. But again you will be more efficient just doing design part. So my point — Improve social skills > pitching, build a circle of people who can de a quick job for you on a decent level. You will mostly add a communication to your process. GL all! Identity or marketing - yes, sometimes you can do it by yourself and for me it's fun, and great opportunity to refresh yourself from boring forms and tables.
@drowlstore8169
I´m already have all those roles! thanks everytime for your info, you are a Leader! Thanks Lord for your videos!
@Str953
I know all these. Still jobless. The problem is they can only pay me for one person and not four 😂😢 Webflow is awesome though
@MrConway007
Would you include Learning about Design System Application and Management in Figma as another skill tack-on?
@TrlRnrRvs
Well said, completely agree with everything! Thanks for these very helpful tips!
@darkbluebossa
Here in Brazil, its a reality for since the early days. Here its very hard to do only mockups. Usually a webdesigner should know Figma, HTML, CSS, Javascript
@TheMarouuu
Haven't seen one of these vids in a while. I see you got some new gear... for the studio.
