The Full-Stack Designer Expectation
"When you are going for a job, usually you are expected to be a full stack designer. And if I have to be extremely honest here, then I can say, be a good user interface designer, and you can pick up the other parts later."
The Pitfall of Invisible Skills
"People are very good at research, or people at least think that they're very good at research. People think they are very good at user experience. You're trying to be good at things that people cannot see. You're trying to be good at things that people cannot articulate."
The Importance of Articulation
"And you also are not able to articulate, because you don't have the UI skills. You're doomed. Sorry, that's the reality."
Building UI Skills First
"So build UI skills first. It's OK if you don't know UXR, or UX, or value proposition, or strategy. That is when you become a lead and do it. If you can't even do UI, don't even talk about entering into digital product design."
