I’m a licensed Architect with a Master’s in Product Design and Innovation, and I’ve been seriously considering a transition into UI/UX design. I recently started the Google UX Design certificate to build out my portfolio (as I only had one ui/ux project prior), and I’ve been excited about the direction.
But honestly? The job market news and everything being said about AI has me second-guessing myself. I love the idea of this profession. Yet every week something shifts, and I’m wondering whether I’m jumping into a field that’s contracting rather than growing.
Is there still a meaningful future in UX, or is this transition going to be an uphill battle?
