The product design sector is at a critical juncture, grappling with a saturated job market and the impending influence of AI. Figma, once celebrated for its innovation and accessibility, has shifted focus from individual user experience to a monetized platform for teams. This transformation has led to frustration among designers who feel their creative control is compromised. The author emphasizes the urgency for designers to adapt to these changes and prepare for a future where collaboration and AI play a central role in the design process.
Figma, once a brilliant alternative, has turned into a pricey 'DesignOps' software that undermines individual creativity using its collaborative features.
The product design landscape is challenged—competition is fierce, and AI threatens the future of traditional design roles.
