This is an interesting time to be a designer. I'm curious, are a lot of designers going to kind of jump ship? This is just getting too overwhelming and maybe just the ones that are just in the trenches and just going hardcore on it will build these experiences. We need people who are designing for Internet of things. And those people should probably understand physical devices and spatial design as well as user experience design.
Laura Klein shows us how User Experience happens whether we design it intentionally or not. She paints a picture of what the the future of UX Design looks like. She teaches us if we’re too close to a project, we ought to step back and let others do the research. She also uses a really effective medical analogy to remind us of the value of specialization.
