Value of a designer

Visual design isn’t decoration. It’s judgment. What should people see first? What should go? Why does this screen feel slightly off, and which 1px is causing it? AI made options nearly free. The scarce skill now is knowing which one to pick.

Competitors catch up on features faster than ever. As they do, the advantage that lasts is the sense that a product was built with care.

When everyone can draw, the people who can truly see become rare.
