It’s no surprise everyone wants to become a UX designer today. The graphics and website design industry has experienced a surge recently and won’t come down soon. But, what do you know about the industry? Do you think it’s an adventure worth shooting for or just taken as a side job? If you knew everything about it and how much value it’d hold in the future would you dive right away to secure a part in this industry before it becomes saturated?
However saturated the industry becomes, UX design packages won’t just slide down to the bottom like the other technological ventures. Why? Because technology will continue to improve and humans will never be satisfied with the levels of technological developments as time progresses especially the way they operate their gadgets. Designers are digging deep into the heart of technology to improving users’ values for their gadgets too.
So, is it the right time to secure your part in the industry? If your answer is yes then you’d be glad you found this piece. You should understand first that you need the heart of a designer and some soft skills. You don’t need to be an expert with some lists of certifications but a designer at heart with some time management, empathy, negotiation and enthusiasm skills.
