Creates user interfaces and experiences for digital products and applications.
Design taste can't be automated. Good UX requires empathy, iteration, and taste—intrinsically human. But Figma's AI features, prototyping automation, and design-to-code tools eliminate 50% of the execution work. Your 'ideation time' gets compressed; your 'implementation time' gets compressed harder. The 'human premium' for taste still exists, but design teams are leaner and design-by-committee is increasingly AI-assisted. You're the creative on a smaller team, not a team lead.
