Don’t do it 😅 With your leadership skills, I’d recommend Product Management or Customer Experience (CX).
Then you won’t be tied down to only tech companies that can afford / want to invest in designers. Design is viewed as an optional luxury in most tech companies. You’d be constantly defending your skillset and the proper time to do it well. It’s honestly exhausting.

Design has less open roles than PM, but PM is a whole other ball game
Whatever you do, DO NOT go into the Tech industry. I got laid off over a year ago, still looking…
While art direction has strong transferable skills to product design, the tech industry has become highly competitive and lots of layoffs lately. Product design especially so. If you are good at figma and presenting business cases, you could be a strong candidate.
For bootcamps, UI/UX, product design, Figma are all good. There's a nuanced tech way of working that isn't captured in bootcamps, but you could probably pick it up in podcasts and books. Problems that product designers face (resourcing, design cycles and implementation, etc.)
Try anything. Carpet bomb. Market sucks all around. UX/I design means not just needing to know Figma really well, but to prove it with recent work, and probably a test if you're able to get any interest in you. PM means knowing the process, and user journeys etc. So by the time you have this all down with examples to prove, the market may well right itself again. Keep all options open. And follow your heart. Best wishes to all.
Is it true that product designers are replaced by AI soon? There are sites that create wireframes in seconds...
Idk, I've never been busier. But then I don't Figma much these days, most of my work is Discovery Side: strategy, service design, research, systems, synthesis, storytelling.
Tech doesn't *need* design. But UI isn't where the interesting problems are anymore either. Customer experience is still a business value-add, especially as so much is SAAS; design just needs to learn how to speak business (and speak tech, and product).
Uxcel has fantastic career learning paths for both UI, UX and PM. The community is pretty active as well
I was thinking about doing the same thing, and then I realized, even if I got into product design, got a certificate from a good educational /training program and a few portfolio worthy case studies, I'll be competing against more experienced, skilled designers in the job market. That makes my chance of landing my first or any product design job almost impossible. Especially with the way the job market is now in tech. I am an experienced graphic/brand/visual designer and I can't even land a basic graphic designr role anywhere. What viable options do we have???
