If you had to pick one skill to master in the next few years, which do you think is the most essential - UX/UI, motion graphics, or AI-assisted design? Or maybe the "next big thing" is actually something else entirely. What are your predictions?

I'd pick motion graphics. Movement is how brands will be fighting scroll fatigue, and expertise in that should be a marketable skill for the foreseeable future. Having designs that move gives you an edge.

like

Motion for sure. Maybe blending business acumen with data analysis as the role becomes more blended/lines become more blurred in role.

I'd go UX/UI. Very relevant to the tech world, which means it's got staying power and some degree of stability. I'm steering clear of AI-assisted design. Partly out of aversion to everything AI, partly because I feel employers will look down their noses at any designer who references AI in their resume.

You need to have AI knowledge. That’s job security.

like

ai. I haven’t been designing, prototyping, writing requirement or user story for 6 months now. ai is coming and it came to stay. You got to get in on it. Within a few years, only 50% of us will left in the field. Don’t be the half that doesn’t.

You’re right. Looked at the question again and kind of dismissed AI-assisted because it’s almost a given. To your point, then I’d change my answer to designing for agentic AI experiences.

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

What do you think about my new title?

I love my new team and people here! Super healthy working environment! But just curious about the title.

Im working at a big multi-product company and we're having 5 dedicated product teams, however, teams are working in silos.
