I see people asking "I have #UI skills, how do I get better at #UXDesign?" My answer is: learn #ContentDesign.

You can't hide behind whizbang styling when your medium is text. It becomes obvious that the copy is the tip of the iceberg. The rest of the work is in the information architecture that lies beneath. You stop thinking in screens, and start thinking in systems.

UI/copy is just a touchpoint of the system. You still have to design the system underneath and between the touchpoints.

Designers are always inventing new titles. Web designer, UI designer, UX designer, UX/UI designer, Product designer, UX/AI designer (???)

These are all the same!

As long as your work is mediated entirely by Figma and Jira, you are just a production artist.

Fighting with PMs over who "gets" to do strategy (usually: neither of you) won't help you. Lean into the core #design skills of architecture and maintenance. #UX #servicedesign #contentdesign #uxdesign #tech

Without UX governance, your app turns to "sludge"

Break out of the feature delivery mindset and attend to the architecture and maintenance of the product.
