The design landscape has evolved from a vibrant city full of insights and user-centered neighborhoods to a potentially uniform and flattened entity. This transformation raises concerns about user advocacy, truth-seeking, and effective action. Many in the field are questioning their commitment to continue amid these changes while considering whether to practice UX subtly. However, there is optimism grounded in the skills of UX professionals, specifically in the area of systems convening, which can enable collaboration and innovative solutions within the current challenges.
The design landscape once felt like a vibrant city, with research highways flowing with insights and user-centred design creating lively neighbourhoods, but now risks uniformity.
Times are scary, provoking questions about commitment to design, user advocacy, truth discovery, and the transformation of knowledge into action within a fast-paced environment.
The question of whether to practice UX under the radar reflects deeper concerns about the future of user experience design in a demanding landscape.
Despite challenges, the potential for hope exists in the strengths of many UX professionals, particularly in the practice of systems convening.
