Generalist vs. Specialist Designer
Would you rather be a generalist designer (UX/UI/ Interaction/Visual/Motion etc. than to be called ‘one thing’ and only focus on that? what’s the ‘hire-ability’ of each like? edit: TC $230
Did u use your name as your username? Lol
Certainly hope not!
🤦🏼♂️
Where are my designers at!!!????? Cmooonn
To answer your actual question, there seem to be a trend of companies expecting you being end-to-end generalist with something you specialized in. (Interaction/content strategy/visual etc) mostly rebranded as "product design"
I don’t even understand what that one-thing you refer would be.
One thing= one design discipline....a UX designer that only does wires, architecture, flows etc. vs. Designer that does UX, comes up with the UI and skins it
You are mixing things. UX designer is considered often an umbrella term under which there are specialities such as visual, motion, what have you. Many people in these subgroups often overlap with their skills. E.g Interaction design is a discipline and there are ways they get their job done - in cases, that means wireframes. Good luck if you just want to do wires, though. I’ve seen those peeps and teams too, but they were often specific to a product or they got eaten alive when there was competition that did some more. Even then you ought to have extra skills such as prototyping, UR or something else that makes you more valuable.
How the fuck would I know without your TC?
Hahahaha! 🤦🏼♂️
