About this episode
AI for Designers: 5-week Bootcamp 💻 opening September Sep 28→ Sign up for the waiting list
Part three of the identity crisis trilogy. The last three years have been a rollercoaster, and some days it just isn't fun to be a UX designer anymore. In this episode I stop describing the problem and tell you what I did about it. Why I spent a year treating this as a tool problem and why that failed. How I rebuilt my own positioning. The five things I genuinely run with AI in my week now, including the client story where four thousand support tickets changed a feature. The two things I refuse to hand over. Every objection I hear before someone books, answered honestly, including the ones I think are correct. And what AI for Designers is, four days before the waitlist opens for cohort seven.💌 Newsletter → Free Weekly UX insights and updates: UX NewsletterFollow the Future of UX:🎨 Linkedin: Future of UX Podcast📸 Instagram: Future of UX Podcast🍏 Apple Podcast: Future of UX💚 Spotify: Future of UX
