You might not like this trend, but design generalists are perfectly positioned to dominate the 2024 job market. 💪

With the recent shift in company strategies to focus on efficiency followed by numerous layouts, design generalists have a bigger leverage than their specialist peers.

In addition, design generalists can use their wide range of skills to go solo and start their hustle. They have the power to create, communicate, promote, and sell on their own. 

With the power of AI and the rise of easy-to-use tools, possibilities are limitless. ✨

If you are considering expanding your skill set, here are 5 skills beyond UI/UX Design I suggest you consider.

✍️ UX Writing
You can design a user journey as incredible as possible; without a great microcopy, all your effort might be wasted. 

🖥 High-fidelity Prototyping
Investing more time into neatly prototyping your solution can save you and your team a lot of time and headaches. 

👀 Spatial Design
We are entering a new era of design, and being an early adopter is never a wrong decision. You should definitely check Spline, at least.

🪄 Prompt Engineering
The initial hype might be over, but AI as a tool will stay, and you better learn how to use it to gain an advantage. 

💬 Communication - Articulating design decisions
To get a stakeholder's buy-in, you need to communicate your design decisions clearly and effectively.

What are you planning to learn in 2024?

My goal is to learn UX Writing and play around with Spline. 🙌
