The role of design is shifting from aesthetics to functionality, allowing designers to build products directly. With tools like ChatGPT and Cursor, designers can bypass technical barriers, enhancing their problem-solving capabilities. The value of design lies not only in visual appeal but in creating seamless experiences. This transition encourages clarity and efficiency, as designers own the implementation process. The future of teams may focus more on perspectives than titles, fostering collaboration among designers, PMs, and others in developing holistic solutions to user needs.
Designers have always been problem-solvers. But until recently, we were often boxed into solving parts of problems - the visuals, the flow, the usability.
Now, with tools like ChatGPT and Cursor, we can remove the technical barrier between thought and output. That changes everything.
There's something powerful about skipping the handoff - not just for speed, but for clarity. When you're responsible for implementation, you make better decisions earlier.
This isn't about turning every designer into an engineer. It's about enabling more complete creative expression - across more layers.
