Battling the Fear of Irrelevance
One of the most pervasive feelings designers face in this climate is the unsettling idea that their skills might be becoming outdated or no longer essential.
It's a real concern, given the rapid technological changes we're witnessing.
However, you can combat this by upskilling in related tech domains or specializations, diving into areas like:
AR/VR design
Voice UI design
Design psychology
→ These niche domains can set you apart in competitive markets.
When you diversify your expertise, you not only enhance your value proposition but also increase your adaptability in the face of change.
Look for affordable courses on platforms like Udemy or Coursera and set aside dedicated learning hours each week.
